I’ve been cleaning the boat this week and notice a few drips of oil on the skeg coming out of the lower unit. The motor just had its 100 hour check then a few hours later was winterized. All was fine. I could see a minor trail of oil from the screw port where you fill the lower unit. I opened it and it burped out a couple of tea spoons of oil. I tighten it back down and cleaned things up. Over the winter the motor was slightly tilted up and I didn’t notice anything at all. It was when I dropped the motor vertical I noticed the drip. I’m wondering if Sherwood overfilled the lower unit and it’s just made it’s way out and it dripped into the water intake. It’s just a few drips a day.
1.0. Now that I have the motor in a vertical position is the oil just finding it’s way out of the water intake That accumulated over the winter?
2.0. Is the screw gasket faulty?
