Hi,<br /><br />I recently noticed a very slow oil leak coming out from the prop housing. (Johnson 2 stroke 2 cylinder 50hp 2000 model) The oil is very clean in color so I assume it is from the gearbox. I checked the gearbox oil. The level was a little low but clean not at all milky.<br /><br />I bought a new prop shaft oil seal with the intention of installing it (I am in a remote area so I have no choice but to do repairs myself)<br /><br />I took the prop off and got down to where I can see the top of the oil seal. But it is not obvious what to do next.<br /><br />I'm not even sure the seal needs replacing. Did it only start leaking when I was flushing the engine after the last run? If not how come the oil is not milky? Can the seal leak oil out without letting water in?<br /><br />Do I need to replace the oil seal? If I do, how is the best way to do it?<br /><br />any help would be greatly appreciated
