After draining and refilling my bravo 2 leg, I started replacing my exhaust elbows to find I have a Mia exhaust flapper. If I have to pull my drive to find this missing flapper, can I leave the oil in the leg and resivoir on the motor, or will the oil in the resivoir all drain out?
I'll be using a engine hoist to hold the weight of the leg. The extra weight of it with oil it it doesn't matter. But I would like to avoid pumping that little oil pump another 500 times! 🙄

No issue, pull the drive and you will not need to drain the lube.

There is a quick connect on the upper drive and the gimbal housing which connect together to pass lube. When separated they seal off.

Its not supposed to drain but mine did a little bit on my B1. It was just enough to be a little messy but with some paper towels it would have been fine.
