Oil Leak

[Gunnabuild1]

Hi Ive got a 15hp yamaha outboard I dont know what year it is and I cant find a manual its laid out similiar to an older Johnson.

Its leaking from the screw marked in yellow on the photo the ones marked in red are what I assume is the oil drain screw and the oil level screw.It had a service and a new impeller put in only a couple of operating hours ago so all I want to do is change the oil and fix that leak.

So can anyone tell me what that screw is?

I cant find a manual that has one in the same position in any make or model and Ive checked online and the libraries collection any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Glenn

It looks like the gearchange pivot screw. It will have a small plastic seal under the screw head. When you remove it do NOT move the gear change lever.

Cheers

The screw that ypu have marked in \"Yellow\" is you gearbox oil level & fill plug . There should be a copper washer under it.
