Hi there
Apologies in advance as I can’t seem to find the “technical” topic. Hope i can be excused. Anyways, can anyone help identify these leaks?
top of motor
Oil has been leaking after every trip (past 3 trips) there seems to be lots of oil residue under the hood and sitting on the bottom of the cowl. Could it be possible that water sloshing with residue causing it to leak onto the bracket/mount? I just professionally serviced the engine after sitting for 10 years. Can’t be a leaky carburetor as it got fully rebuilt. Anything I’m missing here?
Swivel steering shaft (whatever it’s called)
Looks like it’s leaking grease. I took out chunks of old residue around the “outer” shaft and might’ve damaged the seal during the process. Is this possible? Now I notice grease is oozing out. Not immediately but after I got home from my trip. Is this an easy fix? Or is this normal?
I have 0 knowledge about outboard motors as this is my first boat. Runs great! I’d really like to get some input before taking it to the shop. FYI it’s a 2 stroke Johnson outboard. Thanks for your help!
