gear case drain screw washer failure?? milky gear case oil?
I have a 2001 90HP 4stroke, the last 3-4 years, I have noticed at season end, there is always milky gear case oil, no water, just milky oil. I have changed the drain screw washers regularly, but does not seem to stem the problem? Just went to local outboard store, and they did not have Merc washers in stock?? closest dealer in miles away. Can I use a small amount of gasket sealer or 3m lock-tight, rubber O rung? as a replacement??
I last changed the Water pump 8-9 years ago, so seals else place in the system may have a small leak??
Please advise. thanks in advance.
