took the boat out yesterday (1992 maxum scr2300) after i got back home i came out to find my outdrive leaking a few drops out of a hole on the port side (the hole was casted into the lower unit not broke by a part coming through it) right below the cavitation plate ! is this a seal that's failed on the upper end or on the lower end ? the oil is not milky so i don't think water has gotten into it. any help will be greatly appreciated !

Re: alpha 1 gen 2 outdrive

Sounds like a seal failure. Remove the drive, drain the oil and pressure test it (the drive, not the oil)....

You were born under the wrong sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wear factor, a overheat that damaged the seals at some point, plain old wore out.Either upper unit or lower driveshaft
