Author	Topic:   Oil leak or exhaust??
mike abbo	posted 11-08-2003 04:24 PM ET (US)         Seasoned experts please advise.....I recently bought a 1983 Montauk with same year Johnson outboard no VRO. After winterizing the engine today I noticed some oil leaking from the lower end and also half way up the engine in the back. The oil smelled like gas, and wiped right off. Maybee 10-12 drops on the ground under the skeg. Is this normal or should I be concerned?? Mike
