96 evinrude 112 possible exhaust cover leak.

[Tim D]

Ive got a96 evinrude 112spl its got a ever so small drip of water out of the bubble back exhaust cover area. Is that a hard thing to replace and is there anything else that I need to do while I'm in there?

I recommend you replace the 2 gaskets.------When that bubble cover is off you might want to look at the thermostats.-----Then again it could be the gasket between the block and exhaust housing.-------Easy to do if it is a fresh water motor.----One screw is hidden inside the bubble for the inner exhaust cover.
