That gearcase seal is not the original. Is it leaking?

Richard White might be making the crankshaft seal tool. richardsoutboardtools.com

Richard’s website says he hasn’t gotten the 40 hp upper crankcase seal removal tool
into production yet. I wasn’t planning on working on a 40 hp, but it came with the boat
I wanted. I don’t plan on ever getting another one…. especially a manual start, therefore
I’m hesitant about spending $58 to remove one seal. I do have a 56 Evinrude 35 hp
awaiting revival, but it appears that takes a different seal removal tool.

Prepare to be boarded!
