Hi all,
I have a 96 Mariner 135 that when the engine is tilted up for transporting or just any time the motor is up,I get oil dripping down into transom area on my flats boat. Its not a small amount and appears to be fresh oil. It has always done this,just tired of cleaning it and getting some into our precious Gulf waters.(As if rotten BP hasnt done enuff). I took the cowling off and tilted engine up and watched for entire day,and nothing. So not sure if it happens only when running the motor on water or what. When cowling was off I noticed a oil nipple coming off a tee from carbs and also runs too oil injection tank. It looks like this is supposed to have something on it. Im posting a pic of the bare nipple...lol Can someone please tell me if this could be my problem....I attached a yellow cable tie to it in the pic...so its easier to spot in picture. Thanks in advance
