Hi,
I was in the process of changing the impeller on my 1982 J5RHLCNR Johnson and because I found I needed another part I ended up laying the lower unit on the floor overnight. This morning I found that ALL the gear oil has leaked out of the top of the lower unit from around the water pump housing. Is this "OK" and I simply needed to store it upright or do I need to replace all of the seals beneath the water pump?
Thanks
