[QUOTE="jmkilber, post: 265596, member: 5353"] Hey all, I'm illiterate when it comes to engines. I went out to get the boat ready for a fishing trip tomorrow and noticed that my lower unit is leaking some oil. Its a mercury outboard. I've attached a picture. The oil appears to be leaking out of a small hole close to the screw head for checking the oil level. I have circled the area in question on the attached photo. It didn't leak a lot of oil, but it left a three or four inch spot on the cement. My question is, should I be concerned about using it this weekend before I get it checked out? I used it on Tuesday without issue and don't remember anything happening at the time, it could have been leaking already. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
