    That happened to me........it was the brass elbow of the oil sending unit. It's under warranty right? No biggie.

    Yeah, but I had the service done somewhere else. I know the place that serviced it will take care of it. They seem to be pretty cool.

    You want to try to get as close to the 20 mark as possible. The reason is that if there is any issues with the motor/drive package, it is best to get it done soon as possible.
    As for the oil fittings on the oil cooler, Merc had an issue with the lines coming loose in transport. I've had a few and now we check them before we install the engines. It is also one of the usual service checks also.

    That sucks! I'll find out tomorrow where the oil is coming from. Did it take long for them to fix it? I'm supposed to leave for the river on Thursday.

    No, A few days. If the hose broke, they should be able to get it out within a few days. I have one of those hoses in stock if you need one.
