Hi again found the oil under the engine. looks like i got a leak between res bottle and stern drive. how does the tube from the bottle go into the stern drive, connection wise.i have a problem bending down in tight spaces i have a bad hip problem. any advice welcome thanks.

Ayuh,... You really should use a 75W-90 Syn-oil for it,... Whether it's Merc's is up to you...

I use Mobil 1....

If ya can't get to the leak to repair it, I guess you'll have to hire the job out,...
It's Got to be Fixed....
