[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 76306, member: 55"] My guess is that you are seeing unburned 2 stroke oil run out the exhaust, and down the leg, only to reach your shop floor. Sometimes, depending on a number of factors, it can be a pretty big puddle. If you run your motor much in the water (as opposed to on the muffs) there is a very simple way to determine if your seal is leaking. Drain and refill the lower unit lube. Thats it, and you probably should do it anyway. When you drain it, if there is water in it, or it is milky, you have a leak. If it is good fluid, you don't. If fluid can leak out, water can get in. And, if water can get in, you can bet your tail end that it will get in. So, if your fluid is good, you have no real worries. [/QUOTE]
