I recently purchased a 1959 Johnson Seahorse 10HP QD-20 motor. This was originally built as a double hose fuel system which I was able to successfully convert to a normal single hose with a new fuel pump. New prop, changed the gear oil and have been using it for weeks.
Earlier this week, I noticed some milky/grey oil (looks like water infiltrated gear oil) coming from the water intake port above the prop. My first inclination is bad seals. No shops around me seem to want to fix it as it's "too old for them", but I'm wondering if this is something I can do on my own?
Does it require removing the lower unit?
Is it something that can be done without needing to remove the lower unit?
Still runs perfect minus this leak.
Any help is appreciated!
