How would I know where the leak into the engine maybe either inner crankseal or the rotax oil injection? I am a novice... One is a ten dollar fix the other means a new engine... Right?
Thats my fear... Its hydrolocking ... And when i take out the plugs, oil comes out of both pistons... Didnt know if that may be a signal for one ir yhe other.. crank seal or the rave valve seal?
Sounds like the crank seals. One way to tell would be once you got it running again, pinch off the oil supply lines. If the cylinders aren't filing up then it's the seals. In fact, some people put a valve on the supply lines to squeeze a little more life out of the engines before a rebuild. I wish I would have known that before I bought my boat.
I personally have never seen the rotary shaft seals leak but it does happen. In all my cases with it, it's always the crank seals.
The valve can buy you some time but never forget to turn it on.
Lastly some people have had the crank seals leak when using the wrong blue TCW-3 oil and after flushing the system and switching to the correct API-TC full synthetic oil the leaking has stopped.
Thank you all for the great advice... The engine has been purged if old oil... I will replace with recommended oil.... Would anyone know the size of the shut off valve... Or provide a link to purchase?
