the model# 115793s evinrude 115<br /> serial# j0005312 <br />What year? and the problem is i replaced the impeller and went fishing 4 times and every things fine, but i did not get on the throttle hard. went again and ran it wide open all the way back to landing aprox: 3 miles loaded up and sitting in the parking lot i noticed there was a brown{light brown} type subtance leaking from the little holes on the side in just a second it was 12 to 14 inches in dia. and stoped. i went home removed the lower unit oil that has a green pigment in it and it was still green all but just 10 or 6 drops of white dots i'm asuming thats water is that to much? i'm worried about the light brown fluid! any ideas will be appreciated. :rolleyes:

What confuses me is the oil should be comming from the prop shaft, if it is a bad seal lower unit. If not,(out of the water intake or foot drains), it's probably unburnt oil,and should be no problem.<br />I would drain/refill the lower unit,and inspect it's condition.<br />Here is a link to basic l/u check and refill.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=011919
