Re: oil resovior in boat cracked or closed?

is this a seperate tank or on the motor. if it is a seperate tank with lines running to it , it should be a pressurised tank . you will need to make sure it is sealed enough to hold pressure to force oil to the tank on your engine. any loss of pressure will result in your oil system being faulty and delivering oil. hope this helps
