[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 146751, member: 2243"] I ran my 1980 25hp Johnson for 10-15 years with a leaky lower unit. I just changed the oil a few times a year. I was going to sell the motor so I bought a LU seal kit and was able to fix it rather easily. The gears still looked new when I tore it apart. When you run the motor everything mixes and there appears to be adequate lubrication since I ran my motor for so long without any issues. My current 25hp Evinrude has a leaky LU. I'm still using it but I need to get off my duff and fix it. I wouldn't dump too much money into that old bird. They are good reliable motors and pretty easy to work on so if I were you I would learn to repair that motor yourself. You can always find parts on ebay if your patient. [/QUOTE]
