took a while but i found the oil leak which appears to be coming from somewhere around or on the "oil pump housing". I took a video of the leak here

VID_20220904_142528.mp4
and
VID_20220904_140629.mp4

Now that I am fairly sure i found the leak, I am not sure how to proceed as I do not see any cracks or bad gaskets, but then again it is in a challenging spot, so i cant really see anyhow directly for inspection. I am not sure wha to do next. I found this breakdown of parts

Any advice would be greatly apprecaited, not sure how to take this apart or even if i need to or what my next step should be.... Boat has been running fine prior to this, i did adjust the throttles and likely caused this motor to rev way too high compared to the other motor due to not knowing what i was adjusting in throttle controls (this engine control was falling and not staying in position, loose and sloppy, i tightened it up with allen, but now its not in sync with other motor).

I should also mention after this happened, i had a spare quart of oil with me, and poured it in. Then ran the boat for a good 5 minutes on that engine (well both engines) before all the oil obviously again leaked out. The engine gave zero indications audible, smell, or visual, or vibrations of having any sort of problem whatsoever. I have not taken out the oil filter yet however. I am leaning towards this being a crack in the oil housing as seen in the video. I just dont know what to do next...
 
the oil pump housing is cracked. here are the pieces found inside

assuming this may be my supercharger washers, what happens if i replace the oil pump and housing, and run the boat? Does the SC need to be rebuilt?
 
The supercharger failed in your boat and probably just before you bought it. Then instead of fixing it the proper way, all they did was rebuild the supercharger leaving all the remnants of the ceramic washers still in the engine. These ceramic shards will eventually destroy your engine, could be a few months or several years depending on use. The proper way to fix is to pull the engine and go through it and completely clean out all the ceramic pieces.
