leaky lower unit


Recommended Posts

So I feel like a paranoid duck but figured I see if anyone has any advice again lol. But I've started my motor on muffs a couple times this week to diagnose some spark issues and what not and not I see what smells like gear lube leaking out of this weep hole near the nose on my lower unit? I was hoping it was just unburned gas or oil but I also don't want to replace a lower unit either lol. I'm attaching pictures. I just want to make sure I take it to a marina and wait 2-3 weeks for a good reason for it to get fixed.

Normally it will come out of there, I think it is for pressure so it doesn't build up pressure when the fluid gets warm.  It also looked like it was coming out of the prop shaft seal.  Take off your prop and check for fishing line.
