I have a 2000 Merc 225 Optimax. Is it normal for the oil resevoir to build up enough pressure that it spits when i open the remote fill cap at the transom? It doesn't do it all the time, but it has twice when I added oil while out fishing recently. Thanks for you help.

Re: pressure in oil tank

Yes.... Especially if you open it right after running the engine.
