Default Yamaha 115 lower unit oil leak

I have a 1986 115 and it leaks oil out around the prop . I think their maybe o rings or gaskets that may be bad . The manual says their are ball bearings and spacers and such down there . How hard is this to fix ? I'm pretty mechanically incined, but don't want to get in over my head . Is this a easy fix or will alot of parts fall out when I pull this apart ?

hello that all depends on how hard the bearing carrier is corroded in place. some come out by hand and others will break 3 pullers and eat a half a bottle of acetylyne. is the motor run in saltwater? good luck and keep posting

Did you do the work you described? In other posts the message seems to be that this is excess oil from mixing by hand.
