  • Suzuki df 70 oil leak

    Just picked up a 1999 df 70 runs great. Only thing is that it is leaking oil. Oil is dripping down from lower leg. Looks like it is coming from somewhere above the two bolts under the powerhead when engine is tilted up. Wondering if anyone has experience a similar leak with this engine. Any suggestions
    ?

    Go on a search. Hopefully there is a loose bolt/nut somewhere. Is it leaking down the outside of the casing?

      It appears I have the exact engine from the same year with the exact problem. Runs great but drips oil when tilted up. I bought the engine last spring and due to the leakage ended up keeping it tilted down in the water all summer. I think I was able to locate the leak to the front bottom part of the cranck case, but I cannot be sure. I'm eager to hear if anyone found a cure!

        I had a similar issue on my df90, it was the seal around the bottom of my dipstick shroud tube, might be worth a look if you haven't sorted it
