Hi all,
2004 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI, with Alpha Drive.
Replaced the impeller last week and ran it for the first time on the weekend. Realized my lube monitor level is dropping rapidly while the boat is running (drops about an inch after 1.5-2 hours of operation). I'm guessing that the o-ring seal for the line that runs to the lube monitor must have shifted when I reinstalled the lower unit.
Assuming that is the case, I've purchased another seal and am going to drop the lower unit, install the seal, put new lube in and see if the leak stops. My question is, could this have caused a problem anywhere else that I should be addressing?
Thanks in advance.
