Gear oil in bellows normal? See Photo.

After pulling my drive, noticed gear oil? in bellows. Is this ok to have small amount?

Thank you, Eric

No. It may be a "small amount" to you, but a bad seal only gets worse over time. Any gear lube in the bellows is less gear lube doing it's job of lubing gears.

Nothing normal about an oil leak. Probably the driveshaft seal. Best to do a pressure test of the outdrive and verify the leak(s)

Ok, thank you for responses.
