Resealed the lower unit on my 25hp Johnson 1981, ran two kinds of oil in it for about 15 minutes each to see if water got in. The green/yellow oil has sat in the glass for two days and no water has separated out. The blue/green Mercury LU oil I ran last night and collected this morning. Again, no water separation I can see.
The oil is more opaque than when it was put in, so it looks different, but I can't determine if it has absorbed the water that may have gotten in, or if that's just the way gear oil looks after it's been churned around in the gearcase.
Don't have a pressure tester to see if the lower unit reseal is working properly.
Thanks for any guidance --
