My 75 horse Mariner is leaking fluid out of the bottom water intake hole. I have had it repaired twice and I believe that it was fixed correctly by a reputable repair shop. The motor sat for several weeks without any signs of leaks after the repair. When I got to the lake last Saturday I realized that I had a brain fart and didn't put the top back on the oil reservoir and there was oil all over the transom and inside of the motor. What I am wondering is there a possibility that oil could have somehow leaked down into the lower unit and leaked out from the water intake hole. The fluid in question is blue like the 2 cycle oil I use but I also know that the lower unit oil that the shop uses is blue. Anybody out there have any ideas on this?
