I recently started to notice a couple of drops of injection oil coming from the engine when the motor is tilted-up after a day of boating. I removed the intake shroud and see a drop or two of oil coming from each of the intakes. The engine seems to run fine and plugs are not fouled. I am unsure of the cause and if it is bad enought to take the engine in for service.<br />Any help is appreciated!<br />Thanks

Re: 1999 225 oil drip from throttle body intake

What is happening is some oil is leaking from the oil tank overflow tube and settling in the carb covers. The overflow tube is the small tube going from the top of the tank to the top of the cover. Or some oil could be dripping from the oil lines that plug into the intake and dripping back thru the carbs. Either way, nothing to worry about.
