I have a '78 Johnson 9.9hp it runs pretty good, however I noticed some oil leaking from the lower unit where the prop is. Is this the prop shaft seal, is it hard to replace? I heard that it could also be excess oil from the fuel not being burnt off. I'm going to drain my lower unit oil and see what the oil is like.
Also, I took my lower unit apart to look at why my water pump wasn't working and noticed that there was water and excess junk in the front cavity where the shift rod is located, the drain hole probably was clogged, it was more like thick grease than oil. Could this be coming from the prop area?
Any suggestions on either issue?
