    '89 175 GT leaking oil

    I have a 1989 175 gt that hasn't been run in a while, trying to sell the boat it's on so cranked it up the other day ran good but I noticed the next day that there was oil leaking down the center section coming out from behing the cover, any idea what this might be

    Somebody else will know more than I do, but it is most likely unburned 2cycle oil..

    If it took a lot of cranking, then it is unburned gas/oil mix leaking out of the gasket between the power head and the midsection.
