Water in reservoir

[Chrisw87]

Getting water in my out drive and gear lube reservoir and ideas also have oil leaking from the two small holes on the foot

Drive needs resealed/rebuilt

Stop running it now! You have a seal leaking someplace, and water in that amount will ruin your drive. It needs a re-seal. A good competent shop can do it, also so can you. Read the stickies at the top of this forum and see if it's soething you want to tackle.

As others have mentioned you have a seal issue on your outdrive, maybe several seals are bad. In the stickys there is a protocol for pressure testing the drive to identify which seals are leaking.

but before you buy anything take it apart and see what is damaged. Seals don't just fail unless something else failed. Could be once you get into it might be a new drive, gears, bearings other things

 

[Chrisw87]

Not sure if this helps narrow it down or not but there oil coming from these holes on both sides

 

[Chrisw87]

Leaking from these holes while setting

Don't need to start a new thread
That's coming from the exhaust area, still need to be taken apart

 

[Chrisw87]

Yes just figured if I posed a pic someone may had had the same issue. I don’t mine taking it apart just trying to figure out exactly where the leak may be and if someone had already had the issue

Must be a major leak if water is showing up in the monitor jug.. I would drain the drive ASAP.

 

[Grub54891]

I’ve seen a number of them leak from the shift shaft above that area. Not saying that is the issue but, if it is that’s an easy quick fix.
