Help ASAP
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

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?

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
