Check closely for fine cracks on the outside of the lower unit casing just aft of the rear propshaft carrier (ie the last 1/4″ of metal on the rear of the casing). I’ve got 4 specimens of that model, 3 of them have the rear carrier broken out of the casting. Chrysler later replaced that model of gearcase with a much more robust one.If you catch it in time, it can be welded on the outside.
