Is oil leaking normal? I am guessing not.

[aewood21]

Bought a used boat on Craigslist. Had it out all weekend and it did great. However, now that it has been sitting in the yard for 2 days (with motor trimmed all the way up) I see oil leaking out. Are any of these major concern? The first worries me... the second not so much.

There has also been a bit of a gas/oil mix running down all weekend from here. You can see it seems like a very small amount to me.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks. That puts my mind at ease... and it makes sense.

you can go one step further if you like ... put a vacuume cap where the fuel goes into the fitting this will stop it leaking all together AND keep critters and dirt out
