'77 Johnson 85. My lower unit has developed a prop shaft oil leak. But, I didn't have one though until after I ran the engine on the muffs for about 20 minutes. After I shut it down, I left the water running another 5-10 minutes. The next day, I noticed the leak. Could my running the engine so long and/or turning the hose off before the engine cooled have damage the seals? I know for certain that the seals were good before because my manual T&T piston froze this winter & I has working for a while pulling the skeg up, oil free.. I'm going to get new shaft seals tommorrow, along with the screw gaskets. I just don't want to have the same thing happen again, Thanks!
