Saildrive and oil

[oakleyb]

Just had a new engine fitted whilst using old saildrive, i've run it for about an hour and have noticed clean oil on the diaphram. Any ideas on where it could be coming from

Check the rubber 'O' ring is on the gearbox filler cap, without that gear oil will leak out and run onto the diaphragm

Very common cause.

Check o ring on dip stick as well. There is a seal behind the gear selector too. Good luck.
