Hello guys,
I have a curious question!! just bought a used lower unit for my evinrude. I have run it about 6 times since i installed the lower unit!! everything runs fine! but i noticed today that there is a little bit of gear lube leaking out of a weep hole about 3 inches forward of the water intake!! Is this a major problem?? what should i look at or have a mechanic look at? ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!
JOSH

It may be normal.-----------But to be sure have the gearcase pressure tested.
