YAMAHA OIL LEAK - 05/08/22 07:00 PM
new powerhead 16 months old. went out to garage and 2 cycle oil had dripped off of skeg. looked for leak myself could not find. motor is a 07 250HPDI.
motor runs fine just need to know where to look. By the way I cleaned it up and it came back. Have never had a motor do this after 50 years of boating.

Had the same issue recently. It was a hose leading to the secondary oil reserve/pump area under the cowl cover. Just needed to tighten a hose clamp. I worked my way up from the skeg, and it took a while to locate such a simple issue.

No success as of yet isolating leak.

Finally leak isolated. Replaced six check valves and after three days there is no evidence of oil leak.
WHEW!
Now anyone interested in buying a 2008 Skeeter 20i?

IT'S BAAAAAAAACK? Just when success had been thought to have been achieved found nice little puddle of oil again on garage floor.
Premature celebration. I really hate this outboard motor.
