  • Yamaha Excel - Oil Leak

    Yamaha Excel 225

    I continue to find fresh 2 stroke oil pooling up in my cowling area. It will pool up and drip down the side of my motor? I have cleaned it out with degreaser a couple of times and cannot for the life of me (with motor running or not running) see anything dripped or anywhere that oil would be coming from. I have ruled out the cap and reservoir, because I let the motor stay in the down position for a couple days after cleaning under the cowling and it still pooled up under the cowling.

    Any ideas guys?

    Guessing this is fuel injected. I thought I read somewhere that the oil pump has a hole in the bottom that weeps if the pump seal is bad (could be a crock). If that's not it it's gotta be a line somewhere.
