I have a alpha 1 merc drive ...Noticed a little oil slick in the water when docked around the drive...Pulled the boat and parked it in the garage and there was a small amount of oil comeing out of the small hole in the prop houseing pulled the prop and noticed a little oile inside the houseing...I guess i will have to have it pressure tested...Is there a seal inside the houseing i know there,s one behind the prop had it replaced on my other boat...Thanks Joe
