Default Help from my Sonic friends!

I am leaking oil from the small drive resevior mounted on the inside trasnom on a 358 Sonic. This is the starboard side and the boat is running Bravo 1 XR drives.

The oil only seems to leak out when the boat is underway. I don't think it is commoing from the cap becasue I lose quite a bit of this oil in a short time.

Anyone ever experience this and any potential fixes?

Thank you!
Mike

Make sure the vent in the top of the reservoir is clear, if not it will overpressurize and be forced out the top. Try switching the caps from one to the other.

Had a crack in the reservoir tank, it was hard to find, as it only leaks with pressure.
