I have a Mercury 50hp 82 2 stroke engine (outboard) <br />I have noticed few days ago there is oil coming out of the water in take and a few other places.. Its smells of petrol (gas) <br /><br />i had the Gear box seals checked under pressure and they came back as fine, so its not the gear box seal..<br /><br />Any idea's?<br /><br />Other than that the engine runs fine.. other than not firing on one. getting a new part for that. dont know what its called. ( i thinks its called a Switch Box?). its got 2 wires on each that the Leads plug into<br /><br />The only thing i can think off is, where its not firing on no 2 plug. its 2 stroke oil?<br /><br />Thanks for your help

Stuart<br /><br />You are exactly right about it being unburned fuel and oil you're seeing, especially if a cylinder is misfiring. Get the new part installed and let us know how it is then.
