gear lube/leaking lower unit

[dogboy8]

Changed out the lower unit lube and noticed that it had a yellow color, and was not completely clear. It was not milky like it had a bunch of water in it. I am going to change it out again before I use it this weekend to see what it looks like. You guys think I have a leak??

maybe, keep an eye on it, usually it gets milky looking.

Roscoe,when you say milky, do you mean sort of white in color. Thats always the look I have associated with water contaminated oil.<br />Thanks for the reply<br />Greg
