    Did I get lucky or what?

    So I was oil leaking out of my lower unit (89' Johnson 110) so I took into the shop and the seals were shot, and I guess the lower unit was full of water.....and the motor was outside all winter, below 0 degrees at times. How lucky am I that the lower unit didn't crack?

    Lower Unit, oh no.

    I have a 1989 Johnson 110hp, I noticed that on the lower unit there is a few holes for the water to come out for cooling the lower unit, after running it with the 'ear' plasitic covers to run water into the motor, there was oil coming out of one of the holes, are the gaskets in the lower unit shot?
