as a refresher I found after my last trip that oil was leaking out of the top bellows on my outdrive and thought that a seal had gone bad and that I was getting water in my outdrive oil, but upon checking my oil today it was as perfect as the day I put it in, so I checked the engine oil and same thing. Upon further inspection I found that there was a crack in the side of the top bellows and that was where the oil was leaking out. So my questions are these 1 How big of a problem is this. Is water in the bellows going to be a big problem? My guess would be yes ,but not an immediate emergency type problem? Second is there some sort of slow oil pump that puts oil in there or am i just seeing bearing grease leaking out of there and I just need to replace the bellows and put more grease in there?
