 Re: Oil in my PD lower unit Q
prob. need to change out the prop nut seal. Pro drive will send you one for 125 and you can mail the old one back to e, they will mail you a check back for $55. also turns milky if you have run recently, something to consider.

Let it sit for a few days and check it again, don't run the motor before you check it.

 Re: Oil in my PD lower unit Q
well it acts like a blender in there and traps air when the gears spin. i personally would refill it and go. run it a few times let it settle then check it again. if it is cloudy then i would proceed with the changing of three seals.

 Re: Oil in my PD lower unit Q
Do you have the new style Lu with grease zirk? Also did you wash the motor down using a lot of water around the clutch? There is a vent inside the tower that lets water into Lu. Happened to me filled Lu with water right after changing oil.

 Re: Oil in my PD lower unit Q
If it makes you feel any better, just drain it again and refill. You will have lost all of 30 minutes and $3.00.
