evinrude 9.5hp 1968 believe leaking gear oil

[jordankitch]

took my old motor out for a spin today after 7 years it sat. i drained the oil from the foot then filled it back up and after going for ride it looks like a white cloudy oil comming out of the drain hole just above the foot? any ideas and also gas keeps comming out of the carb for some reason but its not the gasket it looks like the overflow any ideas why?

prob floats in carb should rebuild carbs prob, and the seals in the lower unit are prob dry carcked, so a seal kit for that

That weep or drain hole will show whatever has collected in the housing. If your carb is running excess fuel/oil out it will collect and drain out there at the weep hole you see.

The lower unit or foot may not be the source of the white cloudy oil coming out.

When you check the drain plug on the lower unit, make sure the motor is vertical and has stood at least a day like that.

The first liquid out of the drain plug would be water, then of course you know there is fishing line under the prop and/or a bad seal.
