Hi, after getting a low oil warning on Fathers Day, I have now overfilled the reservoir. Oil has stopped dripping from the lower housing unit now. What should I do next?

Many thanks for the help!

If you must, siphon some out, or just use the boat and the oil level will go down...

Like Chris said, use it. If your oil filler seal leaks, don't tilt your engine all the way up till you use it down about 1/3. Otherwise get a new seal.
