Lower gear case

I found lots of water in lower gear case, pulled prop, no evidence of leak. Where did the grease go?
it's a 2009 optimal 115.

Water comes in, grease goes out. You need to reseal--and quick before the bearing surfaces on the shafts are ruined.

The propeller shaft seal is NOT the only place a lower unit can leak.-----So hurry to a shop and have it pressure tested / resealed.----Letting it sit with water on the gears and bearings is inviting disaster !
