Rusty grease leaking from onder power head????

[vzar2112]

I have a grease / rust substance leaking from under the powerhead on my J150GLEOM Fastrike. It runs on the outside of the mid section and onto my T- saver bar under the lower. Any ideas on what this is? I swaped power on this motor this fall with a powerhead that came from a 25" mid and lower that may have been in salt water. I am not sure whats going on with this, but anyone who can shed some light on this would get a big ole "atta boy" from me!
For whatever that's worth!
Thanks,
Vince

Like an old Harley-Davidson motorcycle, it's just "marking" its territory!

Or maybe it is like a old ChampionMan he marks but never catches it

Please give me B button powers .

VZar, did you replace the mating gasket? did you clean all mating surfaces with gasket cleaner? did you torque everything to speck?

Like an old Hawg, It won't hurt in the long run but that is why they call them Cannardly Davidsons . Cannardly make it with our pushing them. .

I had the power head installed by an OMC dealer in Delaware Ohio. I did see new gaskets that he was going to use on this project. I am not sure this individual mechanic took the time to tighten things to "spec". I use Knox Marine for all of my repairs and service now, it is nice to find a shop that is fair and trustworthy.
I take it that my power head gasket is not seated onto the mid section?
Thanks for your reply.
I seem to be in the dark on the other posts.

I would look inside the motor pans to see if this is just intake drips, most motors will have a bit of air box residue that may look like a problem.

Ok will do, thanks for the info. Hope it is nothing to worry about.
My mechanic said he can check it out, he thinks that it may just be a gasket issue. Two hours labor and a gasket is a small price to pay to have it not "marking it territory"!
