Hello. I have a 2005 21V. I've only had it for a year. I thought I noticed some oil in the bilge last season. I just changed all the fluids and noticed that there is a small leak from the drain plug on the vdrive unit.
So my question is, should there be an o ring on that drain plug or could I put one on ( the temp would not melt it or anything).
It's not a fast leak but oil in the bilge sucks and the level in the drive is slowly going down.
Thanks.
Edit. Just checked again and the drain plug won't accommodate an o ring, it has no head on it. It's just one of those square head plugs. I don't like the idea of teflon tape on the threads but any other ideas.
