oil reservoir leak

[mdryer]

Hi Guys

My 2 cycle Oil leaks out the top of the reservoir when the 90 horse Merc is fully tilted up only. So it is leaking out of the top. Do i just replace the cap? Any help is much appreciated!! thx

Check the vent plug in the top of the tank, might be missing or need to be replaced.

Or you could be filling it too full.

Def not filling to much, leaks when half full. Can you tell me where the vent plug is? Thanks

If it's like my 115 it should be a small black mushroom looking plug in the top of the tank.

Thanks for the info Splitshot! Sounds as if I just need to replace the cap. Im in Rochester, would you happen to have any idea where i could find a part like that? Thanks in advance!

Me again, the Oil is dripping from the cap, does this mean i need a new cap or a new reservoir? thanks
