    Understood. I do remember when I drained the old oil out of it when I bought it, The oil was a bit milky..perhaps the seal that is between this lower unit and the above unit was bad thus the leaking…I really don’t know how these things work.

    I guess I will take the shark fin housing off of my 1956 Johnson 30hp Seahorse, and bring it to my outboard guys for an inspection and fix…I don’t rust myself to get in there and work on it. I will tell you all that the motor has always run really, really strong if that helps matters..AND there is oil down in that thing, so I just don’t know..I guess all the oil leaked out during last season…any other advise is much appreciated!
