1991 75hp 3cyl. My motor is leaking oil from somewhere, I verified its not the from the cap after leaving motor tilted down and some clean paper towel underneath the T that comes out of the bottom of the tank and splits the oil to the viewfinder and to the oil pump. A couple days later the paper towel was drenched with oil (hadn't run the motor). I'm not sure if its coming from the bottom of the tank maybe at the boot or one of the fittings or tubes there. Before I just replace all the tubing and fittings which will probably cost an arm and a leg, are there any usual suspects for a non-cap related oil tank/tubing leak?

Thanks for any help, much appreciated, Marty
