[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 481064, member: 3278"] [size=5]Let me ask you a question. Are you replacing the seals because you are seeing a drip on the garage floor (or wherever you keep it) after the engine has been run and brought back home? Do yourself a favor and removed the drain plug in the gearcase and let a few drops of gear oil come out. If it is milky then yes you have some water getting in through a seal. If it is black or natural oil colored then what you are seeing on the garage floor is nothing but unburned fuel and oil slowly draining down the inner exhaust housing and dripping out of the gearcase just below the propshaft seals.
