Have a Mercruiser 3.0L with an Alpha 1 Gen 2 drive on our lake boat. Seems like we are slowly losing lube oil and it appears to be from the lube oil monitor bottle itself.
I disassembled it, and put some teflon tape around the threaded nipple but it still seems to leak. Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the sensor coupling at the bottom of the monitor? I tried it, but it doesn't appear to be threaded and I didn't want to break it off. Was thinking I could get some sealant around it to stop the leak. I can order a new lube monitor bottle for about $45 + shipping but was hoping to pull together a temporary fix this weekend.
