"I have a 2001 yami 115 4 stroke that i had the lower end serviced in march 08, new water pump kit and service. Only been fishing three times approx. 16 hrs. store on land with motor verticle just brought home and left motor up for two days and see small amounts of what i think is gear oil leaking at lower end seam and out the small holes on the lower outdrive checked fluid level and was perfect with no water that i could tell. Should i be concerned."

I'm not sure what you mean

I'm not sure what you mean by fullsp. or cstsider. But i never run the motor full out its to fast for my 18' christcraft center console. I noticed it leaking when motor was up and tilted to the right. wiped it clean the other day and hav'nt noticed any more drips. Buti'm fishing tommorow and i will check it when i get back. These guys have a bad rep. i'm finding out. I will call them on it because it never leaked before they serviced it. wheres your shop justintime.
