Replace the seal on the shift mechanism (part 62), that's a common source of water ingress.

A pressure test will also tell you if you have any other seals leaking. Bad part about water is that it'll separate and you may have your lower gears and bearings sitting in water. I drained and refilled mine several times to get rid of the moisture. |

Perform both Pressure AND Vacuum testing....., and in a "Leak Down" procudure.
No oil in drive when doing the Pressure leak down.
And yes.... Ditto El P..... the eccentric piston seal is a very common source for a leak.
Follow instructions.... the V/P seal is directional. |
