Hello, im having an issue with my bravo 3 oil reservoir .. when i have driven the boat the oil level in the reservoar rises about 10mm and makes white bubbles in top be the oil. When the engine and outdrive cools of the level returns inte reservoir. What could make the level rise and where are the White bubbles coming from?

The top cap on the bottle has a one way valve in it. The cap allows pressure to come in, but not out. Your cap is allowing pressure to be released so your seeing bubbles. Need a new cap

Do pull the drain plug just enough to verify there is no water in the lube

Ok, i pressure tested the outdrive today and found no leaks. I will check the valve and make sure its only letting air in..Is there any seal or o-ring in the cap? There is also a valve in the bortom of the container, what is that ? Bad english=swede :)

Don't know of a valve but there is a 90 degree fitting and a float switch inside
