I have been getting a slight oil leak on the starboard side of my motor and would only see a drip when the motor was tilted up. A few drops on my transom after running the boat, and not unless we made at least an hour run.
I found the bottom mounting bolt head for the oil pump has a drop of clean Opti oil on it, but can not find the source of the leak. The electrical fitting on the bottom of the oil pump is also wet, and I can see a drop hanging off of the bottom of the pump housing.
The hoses all look dry as I was expecting to see a loose hose or a drip around one of the seven hoses.
What could be the source?
Are these pumps rebuildable, or gaskets that go bad?
