You need to service it since there is no telling when was the last time. Change the impeller and the gear oil. If the impeller breaks, it is a hassle to find all the small pieces of rubber

Be careful, I've rebuilt 3 1977-'85 OMC 15s. One 'peed' inadequately after waterpump replacement. The cause: grommet where the copper water tube enters the powerhead via the exhaust megaphone had disintegrated and blocked the water intake. Result was scored cylinder walls.

Kind of an old post, but its a 1985 model.

Like already stated, the week link is the small rubber grommet that connects the water tube to the power head. You need to pull the power head to replace it.
