The engine while tied at the dock (end of last season) with motor in up position took a beating (cleat pulled.) Snapped skeg and now as I get her ready see leaking lower unit oil, which is now greenish in color.
I have done very little maintenance on the lower unit over the years. Did replace water pump couple times. I would like to do some basic gasket replacements or maybe simple seal replacement first to see how that goes in stopping the leak. I’ll worry about the broken skeg later.
I included a pic of the leak (see greenish tint) along with a sketch showing the lower units parts. Could someone maybe note which parts #s from the sketch be a good place to start - some basics. I’m already going for the fuel pump which I’ll also report back on in another thread so wanted to try inexpensive first.
Thanks for any direction.
