Default Bravo Drive Resevior Bottle

I had my 1990 Formula 292 out all weekend and she ran like a top! But, I did notice a bit of drive oil leaking out of the starboard side drive oil reservior. It is the big round cylinder style. Today, I called the dealer said they said that this was a common problem for the "old style" cylinder reserviors (3 inches or so in diameter and about 10 or 11 inches high mounted on the side of the engine compartment). So, I tried to order a new one and it doesn't seem to be available anymore!

Do any of ya'll have an extra one laying around? I ordered the "new style" rectangular one for now.

Thanks,
Steve

The olds will break. You will be better off just switching to the new style, IMHO. Although it doesnt hold as much, it works just fine..

I have one of the round old style Merc drive bottles that does not leak. How about $30 including frt?
