so the oil tank on McLarens side was a duffer........but like said above, plenty wrong on both sides

The oil tank in question is part of the power package supplied by Honda and not something that McLaren provided according to the article - only seeing a headline has drawn you to an incorrect conclusion.

It's a lengthy article but is written around an interview with Yusuke Hasegawa and goes through the long list of problems that Honda had with their 2017 power plant. All the problems listed were of Honda's own making - some of them magnified by the poor pre-season testing reliability of the power unit and the resultant lack of testing distance and time.
