I have a chance to purchase a 140 4 stroke but have been told it has an oil leak under the flywheel. Supposedly this is the only thing wrong with it. is this an easy fix or a pricey one?
I would think it could be very pricey and there is probably a reason they haven't had it fixed. They might have to pull the powerhead off to replace the seal.
Where is the oil leaking out of? if coming out of the exhaust it might be the oil cooling unit. easy fix. if not yeah it probably is the seal. good luck great engine otherwise.
