  • Leaking Oil 2001 225 out of resevoir under cowl

    My 2001 225 just started to leak oil out of the top of the oil tank under the engine cowl. Is there a replacement gasket for the lid? Thanks for all replies.

    Is it overfilling? The oil level shouldn't be above the top line on oil tank, if is the oil level sensor in oil tank may need replacing.

      Oil tank leak

      The tank if I remember correctly has always appeared to be full. I leave the motor fully trimmed up out of the water. It appears to slowly dripping out of the lid on the oli tank and eventually out of the cowl and onto the extension bracket.

      Thanks,
      Steve

        It's probably leaking around oil level sensor, oil will be at top when tilted. The seal in sensor is not sealing it, need to replace sensor.

          could also have a cracked 90 degree inlet hose.
