First start of the season the other night. Started with water hooked up to flush kit.
When it started, seemed to run fine. After shutting down and re-starting several
times we noticed oil dripping out of the exhast. Most of the oil from the oil tank drained out the exhaust and the low oil light came on.
What kind of problem am I look at here? What regulates the flow rate of oil? If the oil pump failed would the oil just drain
out of the oil tank and exit through the exhaust?
Should I do a compression check and if thats ok, either replace the oil pump or use a block off kit?
Thanks.
