Hey just bought a jon with a 2000 mercury 8hp told its been used 6 times and looks it. Decided to change lower gear oil and got coffee with cream. changed it no problem with seals ran it and i can see milky oil coming out near prop. How do i know seal is ok looks fine, had fishin line in there could that have damaged it?

by the way i ran it in driveway for 10 minutes in trash can and saw gear oil after I dumped water out. what should the o ring connection look like behind the prop? I wonder if the fishin line did me wrong?? plan on fishing this weekend will I be ok?
