Hi guys.<br /><br />I own a 2001 yamaha 25hp 4 stroke. I bought this engine from a dealer last summer. They had performed the maintenance on it. <br /><br />When I store or trailer the boat there is always a small amount (1/2 tsp)of engine oil present coming out of the upper exaust. The hole located a few inches under the cowling...<br /><br />Dealer says not to worry about it, the oil level is a little high. I removed some oil but it still does it. Should I worry about this.<br /><br />I did not perform the last oil change, the shop did. I am wondering that could they have used the incorrect oil?(this shop is a mercury outlet and not yamaha)
