update: just removed upper from lower and a pool of oil was sitting in there trapped? Kind of looks like oil is coming from upper where lower shaft goes into upper? I don’t know
Hey guys slapped a take out upper drive replacement in and came back to it leaking gear oil from weep hole. You can also see the gasket by shift cable is all greased. Attaching video and pictures. Any ideas?

Sorry I am new to boats is the actuator pin and tiller arm right here? Have the cable disconnect and can not move from outside the boat but also the drive is up
How do I see if the steering shaft in the transom assembly moves? Manual by hand reaching in there? Also when I try to grab the drive from the outside and move it left and right as the steering wheel would turn it, I can not turn it at all.
Let me add some more photos of the parts. I read as long as the bends have an 8” radius it should be fine. Also seen videos of cables that are frozen inside jacket. This steering cable is from 94 but is in good condition so maybe I should still change. Another question is the two tubes going to...
