"I pulled the Alpha stern driv
"I pulled the Alpha stern drive on my boat and found that the gasket that goes on the bell housing was inside the bellow along with a big puddle of oil.I pressure checked the outdrive and it seemed OK.Is this gasket my only problem or do I need to check further?How can the oil get into the bellow if the outdrive holds pressure,even without the gasket in place?"
