Weird residues

[stripesace]

Ran my motor after pulling it out of the water - noticed some residue in the water that came out. Almost like oil in the water (rain bow colored film no real scent)? Not sure if it was residual from the launch area. I popped the seat and didn't see anything unusual or out of place, or any strange fluids.

Also - opened up the bilge plugs at the ramp a brown foamy residue kind of oozed out. Didn't notice it till I got it back from the 10 hour service. I don't wanna haul it to the dealer for something stupid that aint nothing or that I can't fix on my own even though this should be under warranty, because it didn't start till they gave it back to me.

Nothing seems to be forming in the bilge that I can see. Will look at it more in detail tomorrow if i get a chance. Thought I'd bounce it off you guys first.

Well, I figured it out. I popped the seat off today and right away noticed oil residue in the base of the ski, as well on the side walls. Started poking around saw a yellow cap hanging out at the bottom of the ski which is tied off to the a post that looks like a flush port. On the lid ... an oil can symbol. They lift the oil fill cap OFF of the ski after the 10 hour service. I left a voicemail with the service manager as they are closed tomorrow. I picked it up and started riding, why pop the hood and double check? Isn't that what I paid someone to service it for? I have a feeling they'll get it cleaned up and taken care of. They seem to be honest people. I'm not paying out of pocket because they forgot to close a cap. Glad I caught it now becaues I pulled the dipstick, and the oil is low.

well - i called the dealer. Told me to bring it buy and they'll clean out the bilge and top 'er off with oil. Apologized several times for the problem. Once again, why I like this dealer!
