need some help

[maineiac5586]

I Have A 76 Merc 500 50 Hp And Just Got It Running, Took It Out Today Seems To Run Nice. , There Is Oil Coming From The Top Of The Powerhead And Running Down Near The Carbs. I Thought The Carbs Were Lekaing But The Oil Starts Above The Carbs, Looks Like Under Flywheel? Anyone Know What To Look For? Thanks

Re: need some help

could be a small rubber tube that runs from the bottom bearing to the top bearing has gone bad.. this tube if your motor has it is on the outside of engine. it transfers some oil from bottom to the top
