I removed the outdrive today to service to prepare for the summer. I found a good bit of oil in the bellows and sand in the entry way. There was also obvious oil on the shifter side. I think the oil was overfilled because when I removed the screw next to the shifter it gushed out.
Besides cleaning everything up really good and greasing the gimbal bearing and u-joint and splines, what do I need to do about the oil? Also can I spray down the u-joint and everything with water, maybe even pressure washer?
Edit: outdrive is a volvo penta sx-m 1999

Thanks
