Oil leak in drive

[otee]

I have the same SX drive on a 1994 SeaSwirl 5.0 engine! The hole on my lower unit weeps oil, so there must be something wrong with mine! I don't get water into my unit, but water and oil come out of the hole. I figure that the little oil I have to replace over the season is cheaper than it will cost to fix.

Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard,..... That's a very False economy,....

If oil can get out,.... Water can get in,....

Get it fixed, or you'll loose the whole drive, insteada a seal or 2,....

not fixing it right is pure lazyness
