2 stroke?... If so check your oil pump

I have a 2014 Proxs and had an oil leak around the oil pump. I had oil collecting on the trim relays and wiring located under the pump. The dealer replaced the pump.
Where do you see the oil collecting?

My 75 Opti Max leaks oil as well. It appears to be coming from the back cover of the oil pump. I have tightened the screws but the leak did not go away. I intend on opening it and see if there is an o-ring or seal of some sort between the cover and base.
My 75 Opti had the leaky oil pump. Replaced under warranty. Not a cheap part BTW. Not a serviceable part. Has to be replaced.
There is an o -ring behind the plate that is leaking. Put one in mine and knock on wood it's still dry

On the 115 there is a cover over the fly wheel and where ever the oil is coming from its hitting the fly wheel and going every where but I do see some around the trim switch on the motor
Mine is no longer under warranty
I have a 5 year warranty, may have to up it.

This makes me think it may be leaking around the air compressor since it is so close to the flywheel. there is a pressure line from the pump to the air compressor and a drain line that routes excess oil from the compressor to the reed block. I would check those lines and connectors as a starting point If it is leaking around one of the connectors, it will not be an expensive repair.
