After about 10hrs on engine it started leaking oil around the seam between the lower and middle unit. After running at high RPM for a few minutes and then lifting boat out of water a large amount of "pinkish" oil (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) oozes out around the seam. Dealer says it comes from the carb throats and runs down back of housing. He says no problem. I say something is definately wrong. Can anyone help?

Read the color of your spark plugs...Check what color your injection oil is...You need to find the source of the oil leak not where it is exiting.

I would be pulling the air box off to see if any oil lines are leaking, or not properly connected. When these motors are installed, the oil line coming out of the lift pump to the oil injector has to bled.There should be a clip that holds that oil line in the injector.
