[QUOTE="oukast, post: 262692, member: 8462"] My lower unit leaks a little too....not just from exhaust residue either. (I run 100:1 Amsoil) Some smart guy had a leaking seal on the lower unit and put a big gouge in the seal housing getting the old seal out. Now it leaks worse with the new seals than with the old....I keep i topped off with quality gear oil and at the first sign of water intrusion I drain and refill completely. One of these days that smart guy will take it back apart and use a quality sealant along with new seals, but alas he is to cheap to pay the $30 BRP wants for the seals. Moral of my story is keep an eye on it and if it is seals make sure you don't gouge the housing when you replace them or you will be worse for the wear. [/QUOTE]
