[QUOTE="Andrew03Mach, post: 14291686, member: 152421"] I have a 99 Sea Doo SPX that has not been ran since 2012. Last year, a leak developed somewhere as the bilge was filled with oil and the oil reservoir tank was pretty low. I heard it was common for the tanks to develop hairline cracks overtime so last week I swapped the tank out and cleaned the bilge of all remaining oil. I put some fresh oil into the tank and marked the level on the reservoir and sure enough each day, the oil level is lower than the mark I put on the new tank. There are 3 oil lines that come out of the tank. One from the top of the tank and it appears to be clear of oil until the line goes out of sight under the engine. There are 2 other lines that come off the bottom of the tank. One runs into what looks to be an oil pump and one that runs under the carburetor. I examined each line and they don't appear to have any cracks and do not have oil on the outside of them like you would expect with a leak. I replaced both rubber fittings that the oil lines join and go into the bottom of the tank and those are dry too so the leak is not coming from there. At this point, I am stumped as I can't figure out why the tank is still losing oil. To me, it seems like the leak would have to come from the bottom oil lines but there are no signs of a leak coming from there. Anybody experience anything like this or have any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
