2. There is, what appears to be, a small amount of outboard oil dripping from my engine when I pull it out of the water. I don't see signs of the leak above the lower unit.
Get a seal kit for your lower unit. You will need 1/4-20 threaded rod and a harmonic balancer puller to get the bearing carrier out to reseal. If you have a manual it will help you do this in no time.
