Hi there !As I attempted to change the water pump impeller i got very surprised,because when I removed the gear housing nearly a quart of engine oil leaked out.Should I have drained the engine oil beforehand,as obviously the driveshaft enters the oil pump.Thanks!

Actually it`s the first four stroke Meercury that I am laying my hands on,so I want to besure that I`ve not done anything wrong before I install back the lower end and top up the oil.Thanks!
