96 formula III 600 engine failure

Any idea of the problem. It appears that cylinder ran out of oil.
Started engine let it idle in driveway for 20 min. Rode it for twenty minutes less than 30 mph. When we got to a small lake it shut off. Tried to pull it with cord but was hard to pull. Tried again it loosened up and started then ran for ten seconds and the picture is the result. Mechanic says it looks like oil problem on that cylinder. I understand that a leaky crankshaft bearing seal could lean out engine and cause same problem. is there any way to check for a leaky crankshaft seal. No problem idling before the engine seized. The mechanic is disconnectine the oil pump and is suggesting to premix the gas 40 to 1 . Any comments
