Ever since a shop worked on my Honda 225 in July, I've had a slight oil sheen on the water when I put the boat in the water. I've noticed it when on anchor as well. It is very slight, but leaves a noticable sheen.
I've also noted a few drops of oil on the offshore barcket when I leave the engine tilted up. When I take the cowling off I can't find any oil, it looks very clean.
I've checked the oil level and it stays the same. The work done was to remove the lower unit to replace the water pump and do an oil change. I was thinking that they spilled some oil inside the cowling during the oil change, and that perhaps that was the problem. It would seem the oil would have washed away by now. Is this oil sheen normal for a 2005 Honda 225 after an oil change. I did not notice it when I changed the oil?
Off to the shop next week to talk about their warranty. Any information would be helpful before I speak to them.
