had my bellows replaced on my 87 3.0 mercruiser but the transom still had a leak. had the transom replaced and checked the lower unit oil before I PUt it back in the water and it was a little milky. What should it look like if it's good?

Re: milky lower unit

It should look like motor oil (amber brown color) but thicker. Unless you use the high perfromance oil, that is green.
