After replacing the impeller in my 97 Alpha I, I've noticed it dripping a bit of gear lube from the seams between the upper and lower unit. It also appears to be dripping from the small single hole on each side.
At first I was thinking it was left over lube that had made its way out of the resevoir while installing on the transom, or maybe some that had gotten in a few places during reassembly of the drive.
But, it's making me nervous. Would I be able to tell using a pressure test where internally this was coming from, even if it just leaks between the upper/lower seams?
