Is it common for an oil cap to leak oil out the top of a 88 75hp Mariner? Before my last fishin trip, I filled it up. Later, after 3 hours on the lake, it started smokin on start more so than usual. I get home and the oil was drippin from the outer cowl. I took off the cowl and noticed leakage around the oil container, but it appeared to come from the cap. Since its sit for several days no more leaking.

Re: Oil cap

Been reading up on this issue and what I've found thus far is I can't purchase just a new cap or a gasket, can I? Do you have a recommendation? It's my understanding, you have to purchase the entire reservoir now.
