Reggae Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Looking for some advice. .. I took my boat out last night and when i went to flush the motor this morning I noticed about a cup of oil had leaked from the bottom of the motor. Is this normal? It operates fine but having had the motor for over 5 years this is the first time this has happened so not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 nah mate not normal. it will be ur gear box oil. i think a seal would have gone. wheres it leakin from? if from the screws where u change ur gear oil from u might have to replace the gasket on the screws. if out of the holes its sometimes the seal around the horse shoe. best to get it looked at.

Guest Aussie007 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 if the oil is black and leaking from the front or rear of the prop u probably just added to much oil to the fuel mix if the oil is milky it will be a gearbox seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggae Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Oil is black... really black. It leaked out of the prop area. Once it leaked a cup of oil that was it. I did fill it up so may have put in a little bit too much oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
