Update on my 1984 johnson 90 hp..A couple of weeks ago, i intalled a new full waterpump kit,a shiftrod housing gasket new driveshaft seals,pretty much everything on the topside..
Well today i finally tested it out and am still getting water in it but not as bad.This time when I opened the drain screw water didnt come rushing out but my oil was milky..The only seal I didnt replace was the prop shaft seals, what im wondering is could these be my culprit, it almost seems like the oil is getting washed somewhat if you know what I mean..Also found out I got a small water leak in the exhaust housing under the cover,I just dread pulling those 21 bolts..

Sure did brand new screws and seals came with the seal kit.
1 other thing once I pull the prop and get to where I can see the seals should I be able to tell if there bad just by looking at them?
