Default Re: 1999 200 mercury optimax oil leak

I think I would look for the loose or cracked hose first, should not be hard to find. If you have a hose completely loose, then you would be running with out and that is scary to say the least. I was going to suggest premix, but I think HPDFI oil straight to the bearing insted of mixing oil and gas.
