2003 seadoo oil leak (please help)

[Damienk23]

I have a 2003 seadoo gtx supercharged and it’s entering limo mode and beeping I noticed some oil is leaking out of the drain plugs anyone have any ideas?

I am sure you meant to say limp mode, that is probably due to low oil pressure so you should check your oil level. You might have an oil seal leak at the back of the engine, oil filler cap is off, oil filter is leaking, dipstick is not in the hole. If it is not low on oil then there should be a code, if it was low and you fill it with oil and it gets pressure I think the limp mode should go away on it's own once the computer is satisfied.

Yep, check those areas out. What type of oil are you using?
Fill the engine oil to its proper level. That should take you out of limp mode.
If not... Then check how fast the oil is getting low. If the oil level is still good, then look into the two oil pressure sensors. They have been know to fail.

Oil level should be halfway - NOT to the top - and as AircraftDoc says those sensors fail
often. Cheap replacement and if doing one do both.

 

[AircraftDoc]

Are you using a full synthetic oil? That could set off your oil pressure sensors.

What’s the best oil to run in it?

 

[AircraftDoc]

The Sea Doo Oil for SuperCharged Engines. It is a synthetic blend. Pure synthetic is great and has great shear strength. But it is thinner and lowers the oil pressure causing the sensors -at 28psi setting- to put your engine into limp mode. You need to replace the two sensors for two lower settings sensors if you want to use full synthetic oil.

Remember to check your manual on how to check the oil, there is a procedure for it to be done correctly.
