You should start another thread about water in the drive.

There are 8 places were water can get in the 2 piece lower unit!!!

Remove the drive, drain, pressure test.
I use a mix of Dawn soap and water sprayed on the seals when adding compressed air
You don't need a lot of pressure to make it leak.
10# or less should do it.
I made a pressure tester from a bicycle pump.

The fitting from a drive oil fill kit can help.

so i did that today i actually had to use oil i couldn't find a air pump so i used the oil fill pump and 2 cycle to check for leaks. well it came back out as predicted but in the wrong place i thought. it came out the water vent intake for the water pump? i didn't know about this seal under the pump i haven't taken it apart but is this seal included in the kit i bought? shown here >> https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SIERRA...ash=item1a0db6fa3c:g:9q0AAOSwe7BWt-UN&vxp=mtr so now whats the next step?
