1950 QD-11 oil leaking from weeping hole?

[fud123]

hey guys i got 1950 QD-11 bought it from a guy for cheap and it ran great in the tank i got it home and on a stand it noticed it was leaking oil out of what looks like a weeping hole just below and to the right of the impeller (or right above gear oil fill hole)

I believe it is a drain for the unburnt gas and oil. I had the same problem with the 1961 18 HP johnson I had.

If that is on the joint between the leg and the gear case it is almost certainly unburnt oil from the fuel. I guess you are using a pretty oily fuel mix, 24:1, 16:1, 12:1 ??? so potentially quite a bit of oil about. If its black and has a bunt smell then thats what it is. If it smells like rotting cabbages then it might be gear oil. You will check the gear oil for signs of water ingress presumably.

Not am impeller issue, but if you do open it up, would be a good time to do an impeller if you are unsure of when it was last done.

Ok if it is definitely gear oil then you have to be looking at the drive shaft seal below the water pump. Maybe the O ring seal on the shift rod
