Re: Lower Unit Screws
yeah if it had water it has a leak. Or a bad screw seal as stated earlier. Some Lower unit oil is off white or cream gray. Most shops don't use lower unit oil they just buy 80w Gear Oil which comes in tons of colors so without seeing it before it was put in no way of knowing if it was suppose to be that color. Last Gear oil i bought i got Red so i could tell if it got water in it. That sealant is Clear and thin. I had a V-6 resealed and shimmed it cost $250 and i took it off to save the removal fee. They provided the seal kit and the shims.
That sealant did stop a major leak in my Hydro-Brake Booster in my Tahoe. It was leaking out of the Hydro's Cylinder.
