I have a 1993 Stingray with a Mercruiser 4.3/Alpha One Gen 2.

I recently changed the water pump/impeller in the lower drive. After I put it all together the outdrive oil started to leak out where the muffs go on.

I did use all gaskets and rings that came with the impeller kit. I did double check diagrams online and I did put it all back together correctly.

It did not leak prior to this BUT when I originally drained the outdrive oil, gear oil came out (the smelly stuff from auto rear ends). The oil I put back in is blue and dont smell as bad.

Where do I start.
