mercuiser alpha 1 oil leak
I have an alpha 1 outdrive with oil leaking out of the small drain hole
on the starboard side. Not the "oil" drain hole. This hole is a smaller drain hole on the opposite side from the oil drain and vent holes and toward the front of the outdrive. With the outdrive in the "trailer" position, this hole is pretty much the lowest point on the gear housing. I think it is there to let water drain from the prop shaft area when the outdrive is in the "trailer" position. Since oil is coming out, does this indicate a bad prop shaft seal or an internal seal inside the unit? I'm trying to figure out where to start and if I'm even on the right track. |
