    Optimax 115 Question

    Model: 1115D73HY - 115ELPTO
    Serial: 1B867631

    I took off my cowling today to top off my oil. While I was in there, I noticed a bunch of red / brown residue around the top side of the motor. I'm assuming something is rubbing somewhere but nothing was obvious. Has anyone had a similar experience or know what is causing this?

    My 1.5L Opti had that too. Changed belt and tensioner and seems to have stopped it
