Re: gear lube is getting out
In that case, there is no gasket that supposed to go there. <br />By your first description of the problem, I'd like you to make sure you have the right lube location. The very large slot screw marked 'Oil Level' is the top lube hole, and the other is marked 'Oil Drain'. It is down by the front of the torpedo. You fill the gearcase with the engine in the upright position, and you fill from the bottom (drain) hole until oil comes out the top.<br />If you just see oil coming out around that seam, you may be looking at unburnt 2cycle oil. It's normal see this here, since that seam seals the exhaust.<br />If your certain that it's LU oil coming out there, then you either have a leaking driveshaft seal, or a leaking shift shaft seal. Either way, your looking at a complete lower unit reseal, and you'll need a service manual and a LU seal kit.<br />Hope this helps!
