I’ll ask a buddy about the verdict he received for his ‘05 motor. Same OX66 has been in the shop in POC for a while and they have yet to figure it out. My FIL and his dad both had/have OX66 motors on there boats, ‘03 and a ‘06. Both had the same exact leak. Same exact spot!! The guys at at El Pescador told my FIL that model has always had that issue but never could resolve it. It’s not a serious leak by any means but enough to make you scratch your head.

I don't think its a significant issue but I can relate to the irritation it is causing you.
