"Just rebuilt my 91 four winns
"Just rebuilt my 91 four winns omc 3.0
tightened everything to shop manual torque specs, new rubber pan gasket. looked in the bilge after a run in the lake yesterday and noticed a steady drip of oil, every few seconds, coming from what appeared to be the pan drain plug. A new washer/plug gasket was included with my rebuild kit but I forgot to install the new one, and used the one currently on the plug / vacuum line. could this be the source of my leak?? i tightened it up another half turn, still leaks. makes a slimey mess in the bilge, and I'd hate to be adding oil all summer. any suggestions? i dont want to overtighten the pan screws, but it seems to leak out from the seal between oil pan and block!"
