Anybody have this problem? I altered our lube bottle cap (so as to not over-pressurize the bottle) to allow it to be fully vented (removed the one way rubber valve), closed that hole and left the very small (about 1/16") dia. hole in the cap open to act as a vent.
Even with the lube about half way between "ADD" and "FULL" (when cold) I get overflow out of the small oil vent hole and this is with a Simrek drive shower installed.
It seems to rise more than last year and I wonder if I have some trapped air inside the drive. I drained and refilled at winterizing last fall and, of course, always fill from the bottom and follow the Merc. procedure.
Drive seems to run smoothly and have not noticed any discoloration or oil loss (always seem to need about 1 oz. over the summer).
Thanks for you thoughts!
