Anyone dealt with the issue where the seal wears a groove in the crank shaft and creates an oil leak? I've looked all over the damn place and apparently its a common problem because the part (Yamaha# MAR-CRKSL-VE-00) is on back order from Yamaha until April 17th or so. I basically have the motor ready to pull the power head off but have to wait 3 friggin weeks to get a small metal sleeve to go over the crank. I went ahead and ordered 2 just in case the other one has the same thing happen and won't be in this situation again. If anyone has a lead on where to get one, holla!
