I have a Volvo AQ 125b and volvo 270 drive on a 85 Bayliner Capri. The drive was all redone and sealed two years ago. This year after running in the water you could see a small oil slick and the drive would be about .5 quart low. Otherwise it ran fine.
Finally pulled the drive and the u joint had wire that was coiled in the bellows wrapped around it. Milky oil in the bellows. Looks like it took out the seals going into boat and into the drive. Bellows appear to be okay with no holes.
Any idea how the wire got into the u joint and if there is anything else to check after putting in seals? Can I just leave the wire coil out of the bellows?
Thanks.
