      Ryan SmithJul 29, 2025
      If you notice oil on the sail drive housing of your Yanmar Outboard Motor, it could be due to several reasons. Check for loose screws, screw connections, or a loose dipstick and tighten or replace them as necessary. Also, verify that the oil level isn't too high during operation; if it is, pump out oil until it reaches the maximum mark on the dipstick.

      High oil temperature in your Yanmar Outboard Motor can stem from a few causes. It might be due to the oil level being too high during operation, in which case you should pump out oil to the maximum mark on the dipstick. Alternatively, the oil level might be too low, requiring you to add oil. Another possible reason is a problem with the cooling system; inspect and repair it if needed.
