after taking off the prop is it normal to have oil inside the lower part of the motor cause i had oil dripping out from behind the prop before removing the prop??????????????????

[JamestownTV]

@liv4daoutdoors No, this is not normal and very likely indicates the seal on the propshaft has failed. I suggest bringing it to a marine outboard mechanic. I also suggest NOT storing the lower unit without oil. Thanks for the question.

It's better to take the whole thing off and clamp it on to a vice, that way its completely vertical and makes the levelling a lot better. also u missed an instruction, u should always leave 5-10 minutes AFTER it has COMPLETELY drained because there could still be air in the chamber

[JamestownTV]

@jacobtyler87 Thank you for your insight, whoever completely removing the lower unit just to drain the gear case sounds like a lot of unnecessary work. As far as purging out the air, that's why you fill from the bottom.

So what you are saying is that Jamestown Distributors thinks that cheap and sleazy is a good thing? I understand hiring a professional is expected, but not that kind. Go to an ad agency next time if you want to have a respectable image.

@liv4daoutdoors I know its a little late, but on a two-stroke, it is possible and normal to have excess two stroke oil there in a thru-hub exhaust propeller. However, continuous dripping of lower unit oil indicates a bad prop shaft seal
