"I need some advice here. I have replaced every seal on my 280 sterndrive. However, I am still getting water in my oil. I just so happened to check the U-joint bellow, and it had a bunch of oil in it. I replaced the seal in there about a month ago. I also replaced the shifter seal a few weeks ago. I am at a loss as to what is going on here. I am guessing that the oil is getting past the drive shaft seal and leaking into the u-joint bellow. But where is the water coming from? Should I just give up and take my drive to the local dealer for service?"
