1995 gtx 657x oil leak

[Tucker03]

So I noticed a leak coming from under the jet pump area when the ski was running. I could tell it wasn’t coming from the nose cone itself somewhere farther back. It was more than just seeping from somewhere. I pulled the jet pump off to see if it could be leaking the oil that is in the nose cone from somewhere else and couldn’t really tell. Is there another seal that could let the oil leak out besides the O-ring on the nose cone? It looked as if it was coming out of the bottom of the jet pump housing where it mates up against the jetski hull. I’m assuming it’s the gear oil in the gear pump bc it was black oil and I checked the nose cone oil and it seemed pretty low.

Are you sure it isn't from the bilge and getting sucked up by the scuppers? They exit in the jet pump.

Would it be exiting like around where the jet pump mates up against the hull side ?

Also here is a picture from a week or so ago I took of when it was wet from the oil coming out from somewhere

If it is jet pump oil then it is either from the cone or the front impeller shaft seal.
If it is out the exhaust then I would say you have a leaking needle and seat flooding the engine but then your sparkplugs would be really wet and fouled.

Okay well I did have that originally the needle and the seat flooding the engine but I pulled carbs back off and then fixed that I’m gonna rebuild the jet pump while I have it out now so hopefully that eliminates anything wrong with the jet pump
