Man I am hoping this is some sort of fancy VP oil or a real stupid mistake I made. Any help is SO appreciated. If it is H2O contaminated where is the water more likely entering the drive?"

"Yes, it's water.
More than likely the first seal behind the prop.
Not to bad to replace. You really should pressureize the drive to "make sure" where the water is entering the drive."

It's a 270 backed to a AQ120b. Would you pressurize the drive through the fill hole? Empty or full?

"Great thanks guys! El P. I noticed in one of your old posts you suggested filling, taking a trip and checking the oil upon return to see the extent of the leak and or emulsion. I did not check the oil at the end of last season (which was only 6 months ago) so I'm not sure if it was contaminated then. I presume that is valid suggestion in my case."

"I would advise pressure testing as El suggested. If water came in once, it will come in again. Prop. shaft seals are very easy to do. I did mine last weekend in under an hour.

Also check your bellows and make sure it is not dry rotted / torn."
