    Force 125 1986, hole in front of lower unit weeping oil

    Just bought this boat (1987 Bayliner with 1986 Force 125 1251x6b), had motor lowered to clean up a few little things, lube starter, add low unit oil thru fill hole until runs out vent.

    Fuel gas evaporation lead to too much oil left in fuel?

    Will storage and some fuel evaporation lead to a greater oil to fuel mixture? Parameters: Bayliner 1984 Capri, Force 125 (2 stroke), inside/integrated fuel tank (28 gallons?). I add 6 gallons of fuel at a time as this is a one bottle (16 oz) of two-stroke oil per 6 gallons of fuel. My engine...
