Yesterday I took my 02' Targa out on Lake Michigan & we ran trolling for 5 to 6 hours without any issue. Until we got back to shore & loaded the boat on the trailer. We then noticed a milky discharge coming from a weep hole on the lower unit above the Oil level plug screw.<br /><br />Backing up to the beginning of the day I had loosened & tighted again (without removing any of them)the "Oil level", "Vent" & "Fill" screws.<br /><br />I found when I loosened the level screw it made a sucking sound as if there was a vaccum on it but I didn't think anything of it.<br />When I loosened the "fill" screw I noticed I had clear fresh smelling oil seeping out so I tightened it back down.<br /><br />I have never seen this occur before and I would equate what I saw as oil containated w/water but the "discharge was above all of these ports & seemed to flow for quite some time even today a day later I could see it slowly oozing out of this tiny hole. Any ideas what the heck is going on? :cool:

Need to check the gear oil. If it is clear and full, you are probably noticing unburned fuel and water mix from trolling for that long of a time.
