oil reservoir leak problem
I am getting REALLY P----- OFF with this!
I have just installed a brand new oil reservoir (the old style, oildyne plastic) for the drive trim pump.
As soon as I filled it with oil, it started leaking again, from the bottom mounting screw AND from the top, I guess from the O ring.!!!!!
Has anyone else had and fixed this problem?
Any advice?

Re: oil reservoir leak problem
Use "Life Seal" silicone on the screw. Give it 24 hours to dry. This will stop the leak. Top part I have not had a problem with fixing those tanks.
