Re: 225 merc promax leaking lower lower unit oil

The question would be, are you sure it's leaking?<br /><br />I've seen many an outboard owners concerned over what in actuality was nothing more than unburnt gas/oil mix and soot from the midsection dribbling out to the floor.<br /><br />That being said, let it set for a few days after use (enough time for the water if any to settle out in the oil) before draining lower unit. Look for actual water to confirm a leak.<br /><br />If water is found, remove lower unit and air pressure test in a barrel of water to find leak.
