New Owner 2007 Stella - Help identifying oil leak

Post by jrichkc »

Bought this today at an estate sale. Newbie. Can someone help me identify why oil would be leaking from where these two cables exit? It is continuously dripping onto the floor. Appears to be the same color as the 2-cycle oil in the sight glass. I also thought the 2-cycle oil would be another color than goldish clear too. Is that reason for concern? Appreciate the help.l

My guess a leak round the sight glass or cracked. Worse case scenario tank leaking. Either way tank needs to be removed. Helpful videos on YouTube and you can download a file from this forum of the 2t manual.

Found that video online. Absolutely awesome resource. Couple days into ownership and I'm about to pull the tank. Thanks for the response.
