    Question 2000 90 HP 2 stroke leaking oil

    I have a very small leak around rubber grommet for low oil sensor on reservoir. Any ideas how to stop this? I only see option to purchase whole unit and not just the rubber grommet.

    I had that issue a couple of years ago. I cinched a cable tie around the rubber base and it hasn’t leaked since.

    I had this exact problem over the winter. Went to a local parts store and matched up a couple o rings that fit around the sending unit where it pushes down in the tank. Fixed my problem for a lot less than buying a whole new unit.

    Are you using the O rings as clamps to help the cap make a better seal? Or are they under the cap? If so, I like it.

    Do you remember removing old ones. Seem impossible to remove looks like 2 different sizes.
