Oil Leak

[Art Reed]

Slow leak while parked, from lower unit drain plug. Is there a o-ring for plug available?

Yes, there should be a seal on the plug.

Yes there should be a washer or O ring on the plug and the plug should be magnetic. When you get the washer or O ring and remove the plug you may as well change the lube, if the oil got out water may have gotten in.
