I also posted this in the drive section but i think it will be see faster here.

I just noticed that after a short run today i had a very thin layer of light blue foam in my drive resevoir bottle. Is this normal? I have never noticed before and i just added a drive shower so i thought it could be possible that i am getting water in the drive. Is this the first sign of a leak?
all help is appreciated i really do not want to miss the Tickfaw 200 again
Thanks

just kiding, not sure of what it could be. blue sounds odd, unless maybe its contaminated. what kinda oil?

BY U BOY

merc hi perf drive oil

monstaaa

maybe green

BY U BOY

Maybe. Could it be that it is just foaming up from getting sloshed around. I really have not payed attention to it untill now since i added a shower and want to make sure it is not leaking.

If if i loosen the drain plug and let alittle oil out to see if it has been contaminated with water do i need to pump more in if there is no water or will the resevoir bottle take care of that?

sorry i just checked it the quick silver high perf gear lube and it looks more blue than green to me.

happened to a friend of mine and it turned out to be the bottle being shaken on the engine. switched to bottle on transom and it help, not to say solved the problem.

BY U BOY

thanks
the bottle is mounted on the transom. I may just be overly cautious since i am making the run in the morning and don't want to take the chance of ruining the weekend if i can help it.
I will keep a good eye on it before io hit the stick hard
