I have a MC-1 Outdrive and am currently replacing my engine coupler and gimbal bearing. Being that the tear down is slow due to funds and time I set the outdrive aside while waiting on parts. I think I may have made a mistake. I had my outdrive hanging on the crane from the top hook. We needed to use the crane so to keep everything together I LAID THE OUTDRIVE DOWN on its side in the boat. The driveshaft is already disconnected and there is nothing but the yoke on the outdrive. Today I went to install my new u-joints and noticed a small puddle under the yoke and on the cardboard it was sitting on. This was not leaking upon removal but is now from laying on its side. Is this of any concern? The vent hole is below this so oil wouldn't be sitting there as it would at a lower point. Also if it needs to be replaced is there a special tool to remove this ring?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
