Oil leak
Submitted by Naitanui_ on Thu, 2013-11-07 21:57
I hope you guys can help me as i have a black oil coming from the join between my mid and lower unit. It's only recently started to show the oil after its been sitting for a few days. Could it be my oil mixture is too rich? Outboard is a 55hp 2 stroke Evinrude
Thanks in advance

Is it definately coming out
Is it definately coming out of that joint?? If so would need to get it looked at.. I have seen fuel/oil mixture coming out from higher up and dripping down which is just overflow and nothing to worry about..

I haven't pulled the lower
I haven't pulled the lower unit off yet which i might do to see if it's anything suss. Not sure where else oil would come from in a 2 stroke other than fuel or gearbox...
