Bravo III gear lube leak

[vitali69]

Hi All

I have Mercruiser 5.7 EFI, 1995, with Bravo III, I see that gear lube leak in motor section. I have called the mechanic, he set has to remove all Outdrive. I do not know where leak , the hose from reservoir looks well.
Any help, Thanks you guys .

It's probably a bad fitting that goes through the transom shield. The only way to replace it is to pull the outdrive, and bellhousing to get to the fitting.

Not sure why you are getting all excited about the outdrive being pulled. It should be done every 100 hrs or yearly whichever comes first. It's the only way to check alignment, and check the bellows for water, lube the ujoints etc. It's a 10 minute job to remove the drive. Hardest part is that the Bravo III is heavy.

It's already a year overdue for having the drive pulled for annual maintenance.
