Hello all,
Got a strange issue and had a couple questions... recently on a long boating trip I came across an oil leak... I traced it back to the port side crank case breather hose at the connect point on the valve cover...the leak appears to be between the hose end going into the cover and the gromit. I played around with it, moved it around, cleaned it and it just kept leaking... the amount of oil was very minimal... but I just can't figure out why it happening...engine has less than 40 hrs on it....
I have been troubleshooting my oil pressure gauge for a while and believe it's fixed... but has not been 100% confirmed....
Couple questions -
Anyone think my oil pressure is too high and causing the leak? I'm using the correct oil viscosity.
Perhaps I should just buy a new breather hose and see if that solves it?
I inspected the starboard side and really noticed it was a much more of a tight seal than the port side.
Thanks for any input! Cheers!
