First time poster so be gentle. I have a 69 25hp Johnson on my flat bottom. i have gone through and replace the seal and o ring on the shift linkage going into the gear case and replaced both of the washers on the oil drain and fill holes. totally cleaned and resealed the gearcase where it joins the lower unit. anyways i have oil leaking out of a little hole above the gearcase in the area of the lower unit that the shift linkage is in but below the seal for it. can anyone tell me what this is. the gc oil had water in it before i changed it and didnt have any after I ran it for a short while afterwards. Could this just be unburnt exhaust oil ?
