I have oil leaking from both water intakes on the lower foot of my 2004 caravelle. I have a remote mounted oil fill and oil runs out of it real quick. If ive never repaired an outdrive before, is the dealer going to take advantage of me? No one will tell me about what it will cost to fix it over the phone, (obviously), but I would assume that it is a relatively comon occurance. Any ideas?

Re: Alpha 1 oil leak

Aub, There is a forum for I/O. You will get better results there, however, from what you describe I will bet it is a seal in the waterbump base. If you are mechanically inclined, get a manual, a waterpump base and an impeller repair it and have at it.
