where is the water leaking from? Some engines used a gasket to seal the powerhead to the midsection. You might want to order it so it will be on hand.

Its hard to see, but it looks like its dripping from between the head and the block.

Cracked block. Power head has to come off. Time to decide if to put a rebuilt head on to fix the crack.

I am going with a rebuilt powerhead. I don't want to put anymore money into a powerhead that is 13 years old and has never been rebuilt and needs the block welded. I will cut back on some of the labor cost with trouble shooting. Right now my estimate to paint the engine and replace the powerhead with a rebuilt one is about 2k. I guess I have to spend my money on something.
