Oil leaking out of carbs I think

[Michael Hagen]

I have a oil injected 150 Yamaha . When I park it and tilt the motor up I get drops of blue 2cycle motor oil that drips into the transom. Is this a sign of a problem. Also does it really matter what two cycle motor oil you use?

post the full model number off the port side bracket.
need to know what we are dealing with as they are different.

I get some outboard oil in my intake airbox. when I remove it, some just pours/drips out. No problem so far. My motor is a premix model and I think some fuel gets in there and evaporates, leaving behind the oil. Good Luck!

On the subject of oils, For years I always used Yamalube with no problems at all, switched to Pennzoil 100% Synthetic Outboard Motor Oil(Walmart $27/gal.) a few years ago , still no problems but cleaner, less smoke, less carbon. Plenty of opinions on oils/lubricants. Highly recommend Stabil Marine and a fuel/water seperator. Good Luck!
