Hi,
With the above engine, while running with cover off I have noticed a gasket break and subsequent water leak. It looks like the gasket is between the motor and the lower leg. While running there is a very small leak coming from this area and still lots of water coming out of the 'pee' hole. Obviously this is not a good thing, but what are the possible solutions other than going to mechanic? The leak is low pressure dribble, so would a epoxy filler work? The gasket feels like it is metal and doesn't look like it is an easy DIY repair. What are the options?
Here are pictures (last two of the series with red circle around it)
