I have a ysm8 with few hours on her and I just noticed there is a small leak of oil from the crank shaft? (the shaft that is used to manually start the engine) . it is about 2" above the oil strainer.
the l;eak is small!! about 1-2 drops per 2hrs but I do want to eliminate it. Has anyone replaced the 0 ring seal? is it a tough job? how do you get the old one out ?how do yo get the new one in?
I spoke to the factoryu and will be sending them pixs but would like to hear froma anyone about this
thank you !!!
