1996 135 Merc, haven't had any problems, noises, metal on drain plug, etc. but I have water when draining the gear lube. What am I looking at changing, which seals, o-rings are likely to be the problem? Thanks.

I would change the waterpump base. It has the driveshaft seal as well as the base Oring. Also install new gaskets on the fill and drain plugs.

Make sure you remove any rust or corrosion and lube the driveshaft before installing the new WP base
