Hello everyone.
I finally got my outboard running right and now. I have gear oil being pumped up into the neck of the tail end. On the inside. It on the exhaust chamber pipe and water impeller pipe that goes front the lower into the engine. I have replaced the impeller. Just not gaskets. Is there an oil seal underneath the plastic base. That is causing this.
 
Are you sure that is gear lube and not the fuel oil mix being mixed with the water. Yes there is a seal under the waterpump housing.
 
No I'm not sure. It felt like gear oil I guess the only way to know Is to check the lower case. There would be water in there correct? If the lower oil seal was bad. Also it was like yellow is color. I was assuming it was gear oil.
