New to forum. An owner, not a mechanic. There is water getting into the lower unit of my outboard. The lower unit oil when drained is split pea soup colored. Motor still runs fine.
My questions are: Excluding the two screws used for adding and draining the lower unit oil, what are the other places where water can enter the lower unit? Could seals be damaged when the impeller is changed?
Just trying to get an idea of how complicated the problem might be before the motor sees a mechanic.
Thanks for any help.
