outdrive leak

[scoflaw]

I have a 2000 bravo 2 outdrive that uses a small amount of oil . Noticed it last season. When the oil was changed last fall the oil looked good. No water no milk. Pressure checked it as well. All was good. No evidence of any oil leak in the bilge. Any ideas?

Hard to say, but pressure testing doesn't take into account that you have 2 shafts turning at high speed when in use, so it could be a shaft seal.

Bellows is dry. So are you talkin prop shaft seal? Should I be concerned?
