There are oil streaks on the side of the mid section of the outboard. I checked inside and around the powerhead and it’s dry. Also plenty of oil in the tank. Any thoughts on what is causing it? It's a Yamaha 2 stroke fuel injection ox66. It was rebuilt in December. I’ve been leaving the motor tilted down recently which is probably why I’m just now really noticing it.i

Does it have all those small gray oil hoses? I'd clean it all up including the cowling pan and then look for leaks and seepage around any oil system components. It could be a problem if it's related to a single cylinder.Last edited by Walker; 07-28-2021, 07:47 PM.

Oil also collects in air baffle if you have one and can leak out when tilted (carb models, not sure on direct injection)Last edited by Leaverrite; 07-28-2021, 09:19 PM.
