force oil leak

[robertmcp72]

I have a 1994 150 hp force<br />I checked my lower unit lube today and was full of water.<br />i did notice the other day that the drain holes or weep holes on the underside of the anti cavitation plate had a drip of lube coming out(thats what made me check today)so pulled the lower unit and cannot see anything oblivious.

robertmcp72 - Did you submerge the lower unit or where you running the engine with ear muffs? I had the same problem with my '93 Force 120 lower unit and water. Apparently I forgot to put the washers back on the drain, fill and vent screws after I changed the lower unit fluid. I thought "that can't be it", but mechanics told me it will let in a good amount of water. Just a thought.
