Re: oil leak ?

Yup. You need to replace your shift-shaft seal or upper driveshaft seal, or both. (I'm betting on the shift-shaft seal) [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: oil leak ?

I had a classic 50 merc,I also had it tilted and expected the worst when I saw oil on the ground.BUT thank God my auto oiler was bad,so the oil just flowed free out the bottom.something to check,
