water leak, drain plugs?

[ramlax13]

Hey everyone, So I finally got to diagnose the ski today(1990 Seadoo SP). I got it started right away, and when I started the water hose the water comes out the right side of the engine under the oil injection hose. It seems to me that it may be coming from the drain plugs that are there to drain the engine when it fills with water. Water seems to make it through the entire circuit and it doesn't seem to be a hose that is the problem as I checked them all to the best of my ability. I am having trouble actually locating the drain plug position, even with the full manual with me. Could anyone actually back up my theory, and help me with the next step to fix the problem. I would really like to get this thing in the water this weekend. Thanks a lot.

From the looks of it, on a microfiche...on both sides of the rotary housing, in the bottom corners.
Without any harm done, pull the 4 bolts off, hold'n rotry plate, if take'n carbs off doesn't help to reach the plugs. Remove the rotry unit, then inspect, make sure though, your rotary valve dont pop off the spline.
Not much room in there to work with...good luck

Yea, the room is definitely a problem. I'll try and do what you said, thanks again.
