"Guys,
This site has an awful lot of info, but, I can't find anything on this topic...
I just got a sweet deal on a 1961 QD-22 10hp Johnson outboard. Runs like a top and idles like a purring kitten. Got done testing it in a barrel, and after removing the motor from said barrel, there was chocolate shake running off the outdrive in very small trickle. Is there somewhere to get a new o-ring for this? I thought I saw a discussion relating to spaghetti seal? Is that the proper lingo for the lower unit seal? It was about 40 degrees out and motor has not been run in 2-3 years. She started on 3rd pull! Please tell me this isn't a fatal flaw.
Again, you guys are the outboard Mensas, thanks for the help.

shift shaft seal could be bad have your lower unit pressure tested quick easy test gets rid off the guess work

Thanks guys.
