Hello
I have a 1984 2.5 l OMC sterndrive model 252STHRCRA. I have noticed an oil leak on the port side of the engine way in the back sitting on the intermediate housing. When I look up a diagram of this area there is a small cover plate with 6 screws in it. The diagram says this is the oil reservoir. I assume the gasket is bad. I've never really noticed this area before. What does the reservoir do?
