drive oil reservoir bravo
drive oil keeps coming out of oil reservoir by cap when rpm goes over 3000. Got the drive tested today and holds 12 pounds all day long. no water in oil. Merc dealer says 2 options: too much vibration on engine should relocate tank, or change the cap. What do you think is my solution or problem ?

I would like to add that gear lube expands when it gets hot. How much lube is in the bottle when the drive is cold? If you put too much in, it may spill out when hot.

If the drive is too hot you may need a drive shower. I can get you one if you need it.. Jamie / lakeside
