Re: Exhaust Leak???

Probalby unburned oil migrating down from the exhuast cavity Dave. Usually heavy gooey stuff...smells a little of fuel/oil mix. Nothin' to worry about.

Re: Exhaust Leak???

OBJ, I believe your right. I had problems with my engines last year and my dealer worked on them from May through October troubleshooting. During that time he did spill alot of oil and fuel under the powerhead and I think it all came down during the winter. It is still pretty nasty under the powerhead so Im going to clean it up a bit. Im going to be changing all the filters this week so I'll see if there are any leaks also. Thanks for your help. Dave
