Its an alpha 1 gen 2 thats leaking oil.
It started as a few drips out of the vent hole on the top of the lower unit, I searched here and determined it was a leaky shift shaft seal. No big deal, I'll change the oil very often and top it off everytime before I go out to limp it along for the rest of the year.
The oil leak got worse. Its now leaking from around the prop, out of the water inlet holes, and through that same vent hole still. Its a sickly looking mess with the puddle of oil under it these days. haha.
Not sure how many seals I have leaking, but it seems like a complete re-seal is in its future.
