    Part of oil injection pump is broken

    On this Mariner 40hp oil injected motor part of the oil pump case is broken off and exposed and it leaks some oil out of it. Is this a problem or is it fine like this? I’m definitely not dropping 300 bucks on a new one. I’ll delete the oil injection at that point.
