Lower Unit Help

[Dave98]

I just had my impeller changed in my Alpha I. Now the lower unit is leaking drive oil through a small weep (?) hole in the front of the housing.

I have about a 8 inch round puddle on the ground after 1/12 days. I am going back to the shop that did the work but wanted to be somewhat knowledgeable about what they had done. I would have done the work myself except we are leaving for our annual run to Tablerock Lake Saturday and I didn't have time for my learning curve!

The first person I talked to said that I have a seal leaking and that had nothing to do with changing the impeller. It was not leaking before as far as I know. One of the charges on the invoice was to replace the oil.

Thanks for any insight or help.

Never mind. I should have checked it out closer first before asking for help. They left the drain screw about a 1/4 turn loose.

Everything is right with the world.

A week on Tablerock Lake starts Saturday!!!!!!!
