    If your motor has a ball bearing on the driveshaft right above the pinion gear, then it uses oil.  The new seals will keep the lube oil in.

    Thanks Mumbles, I do indeed have a ball bearing hiding below the
    DS seal. I’m guessing my PS seal leaked and someone decide grease
    was the way to go. The PS seal was pretty chewed up, most likely
    from fish line.

    Prepare to be boarded!
