Hi,
Thanks in advance for any insights. I dont know why I keep referring to it as HP...
2000 Honda BF50
I noticed a little oil film the other day on the lower leg. I went with the brush it off and hope it doesnt return approach but it was back. The motor and boat are kept in the water and the motor is kept up out of the water.
Its just a thin film but its there...
Any connections to the oil filters? I now have 2 different Honda oil filters - I believe part number 15400-PFB-007 (black) is recommended but one dealer sold me a blue one part number 15400PFB-014 (which is now installed - maybe first blue one ever on this motor).
I am assuming the only way to get oil there based on gravity - the grey plastic rectangle I believe is the water intake so the water is going (pushed/pumped) up and circulates in the engine. If a gasket is weak/gone in the engine perhaps a bit of oil is leaking back down to the grey plastic intake and onto the blue spot in the image below?
Anyway the blue oil filter is causing to much pressure in the engine?
I have only had the engine 1.5 years so it was my first oil change as it had fresh oil in it when I bought it.
thoughts? Ideas? next steps?
