So im not sure what lower unit i have EI pre-alpha or alpha one ect ect. i have a 71 mercruiser 140, old engine but runs strong.
But my other question is, when i remove the drive unit, do i have t drain the drive oil or is that all concealed inside the drive unit. Cause i have a leak from were the drive unit connects to the bell housing, its leaking around that seal between the 2. I ask this a cause the bolts that connect the 2 were a little loose, so if drive oil is supposed to be in that area were if i were to disconnect the bolts and pull the drive unit off oil would pour out.
Is there something more wrong here. 4th of july weekend and was hoping its just a quick run to the marina and get a gasket and remove the drive unit and slap a new gasket in there.
and leak is on both sides of the drive unit.
