Has anyone any ideas, my kwak 12f was recently turned upside down for a tidy up on the gel coat, when righted and serviced she seemed to be running fine, however she was losing oil. There is no oil inside her so i think she must be losing it out the back.....Has anyone any suggestions?????

Which way was it turned right side up? Clockwise or counterclockwise?

I'm not sure which way it was turned back but all the oil was drained out of it before we flipped it upside down.

How do you know it is losing oil if it is drained then?

We've righted it and serviced and refilled it, we've had it out for a few runs and topped it up each time and each time the oil light has come on.

When the oil light has come on, is it because the oil is low or because the light has come on for some other reason?

the oil level is def low, also when flushing it the water coming out of the exhaust is oily. Hopefully it is something simple as this never happened before we flipped it!

I wonder if it is your piston rings? How many hours are on it?
