Where is the motor stored? if its outside in the sun or an otherwise warm place the gear oil may expand and leak past the seals. This isn’t necessarily a problem. If you have the gearcase torn down you really should replace all the seals. You will thank yourself later. The shift shaft seal lives a tough life. I’ve never found a 50’s gearcase with original seals to have a good shift shaft seal.
