My driveshaft bellows has a lot of gear oil in it!

[YN2(SS)]

Removed the driveshaft housing off the transom assembly today. Heading towards replacing all the bellows. And the driveshaft bellows has a big pool of what smelled like gear oil in it. Do I need to replace the seal aft of the driveshaft?

Thanks!

You need to replace the input shaft seal and possibly the yoke if it has a deep groove in it.
