Just changed lower unit oil on almost new Yamaha F75TLR (4-stroke). I used the same procedure that I had used on my previous engines (drained old oil, used pump in lower drain hole and watched for oil to flow from upper hole). This time there appeared to be oil coming from the water intake vent which is just below the upper hole. Can this be possible? I thought the sump that holds the lower unit oil was sealed except for the upper and lower holes. I guess it is possible that the overflow ran down the side and just "appeared" to be coming from the vent without my having noticed.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
Thanks!
