[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 503344, member: 3278"] [B]First off don't jump to conclusions that the propshaft seal failed. Do check it by removing the prop and do a visual check. Second - Are your fill and drain plugs sporting a reddish colored sealing washer? If so those were changed several years back to a newer black one that needs to be changed with every gear oil service. The older reddish ones were found to be more prone to crushing and allowing the screw torque to back off and creating a bit of water seepage into the gearcase. Get some new fill and drain screw seals first and try that. [/B] [/QUOTE]
