I just purchased a barely used 96 Johnson that I have been told was actually made by Suzuki. It looks to have possibly been used for only few hours, like under 10. I stored it lying down a couple of times and learned this allowed oil to leak. It had oil all inside the top of the engine. I finally got it on a stand and it dripped oil for a few days then stopped. Today, I used it for the first time and it seemed to have a lot of motor oil all over the lower unit. I looked under the cowling and saw a small pool of oil below the oil filter, like the size of 2 stacked quarters. In not sure it it was there before.
I've been searching for general info about this engine, such as the owners manual and discussion about the design and quality and also wonder if I have an oil leak that needs repair.
Any thoughts or info would be appreciated, Scott
