Steering Arm Grease Seal Leaking

[ReelSmokin]

I recently returned home from a trip to the lake with my boat. It has a 1980 85hp johnson outboard on it. I noticed that a substantial amount of grease was leaking out between the swivel bracket and mount bracket. Looking at the blown out skimatic I see there is a seal there. My problem is that the repair manual doesn't address the replacement of this seal, so I don't know how to replace it. Does anyone have any recomendations?

If you want to pull the power head and the lower unit it can be repaired. I would say, just keep greasing it and wipe off the excess. Be glad you have grease coming out as you know your swivel bracket is free.
