This question is in reference to a leak on a 92 GW Invader with Mercruiser 4.3LX (OD820725) and Alpha 1 Gen II drive unit.
I just bought this boat a couple weeks ago, and am new to owning an I/O... have had outboards and am a seasoned mechanic though. Knew this one was gonna take some service and rebuilding, but am trying not to go overboard with replacing everything! ;-)
Took it out on the water for the second time yesterday (engine and drive did awesome), but noticed that the auto bilge was running quite a bit. So I climbing into the dog house and found a fairly large substantial leak coming from what appears to be the exhaust bellows? Anyway, just hoping that perhaps some of the seasoned folks here could verify that this looks like a bellows leak? If so, I will order a seal kit and take my first go at removing a drive unit! ;-) See video link below to see the leak...

Thanks in advance for any advice!
