Dear Sirs,
Since 7 years I store my 2.5 hp Yamaha the same correct way in my Dory while I row ***** (the engine is horizontal with the front or let's say the choke button down, which is one of the correct ways to store the engine). I never had the least leak of oil. Now suddenly oil leaks. It is coming from somewhere behind the carb it seems. I've cleaned the engine and had it run for an hour. No oil leakage.
The oil level is exactly on the small round shiny metal plate which one can check the oil with through the round small window.
Any ideas of why this starts happening? Is a gasket broken somewhere?
Kind regards
