I continue to have oil collect in the splash well of my 2005 Mercury 115 2 + 2 when the motor is tilted up. A lesser amount collects when it is tilted less.
I have been searching to see if others have identified a fix for this. Any help would be appreciated.
I am considering running the oil supply hose through the lower engine shroud then back into the lower engine shroud near the fuel line and connecting it back up to the oil pump. In the line, outside of the motor housing, I would install a small shut off valve. This way, I could turn the valve off which would prevent the flow of oil when the motor is tilted up without having to remove the engine hood / cover. Any thoughts if this would work, or, do any harm?
Thanks
