Hope to get some info? The other day I took the boat out for some fun fishing and when I pulled the boat out of the garage I saw a small oil puddle it look to be coming from the lower unit but after looking and wiping off the oil it was coming from the front of the motor I removed the air silencer I saw oil was coming form the top hole throttle body or port. Would you know what I need to check or test to find why the oil is still getting to that location. I thought it might be pressure but I opened the oil tank to release the pressure but it still leaks. I took it to the lake and it seems to run fine. Any help would be great.

Thanks

I was told by dealer get used to it just nature of those models. They said u can cut out oil absorbing pad and put in there then chang it every so often.
