My 150 Opti is leaking oil, and I think I've tracked it down to the cap for the oil reservoir (the one that is part of the motor, under the cowl). Has anyone had trouble with this leaking? I understand that the reservoir is under pressure, and the cap's purpose is for bleeding air from the system, and must be on tight. But I tighten as far as a can and it still seems to leak. The rubber gasket/seal on the cap seems really hard and maybe a bit too thin to provide a tight enough seal. Anyway, I want to ask if anyone has encountered the same problem and found any solution?
