Drive Reservoir Leak
 
Having a problem with the reservoir leaking into the bildge. So far it's not the reservoir itself thought it might be front seal on drive pulled it it's dry. Is there a way this might be pressuring up and forcing it out the reservoir underway?

Thanks!

Just a shot in the dark, but your cap might be bad. I just had this same problem and found that the seal was dry rotted. I changed the reservoir cap and knock on wood problem fixed

Man I was just wondering that if it might not be venting properly.

Which drive oil reservoir do you have? Some are prone to cracking. Also, we only fill ours to about 50-60% full when cool to allow for expansion.
