Is this hole on the top of the lower unit supposed to be there to drain out water? I know the lower one on the side is, but am not sure about the upper one that is draining out oil mixed with water. Both holes are draining oil water mix. I am assuming the drive shaft seal under the impeller needs to be replaced? I am replacing the prop seal also while it is apart. Also was wondering if that which is draining is just from the what ends up being dirty filthy oil water from running it in the test barrel, but I don’t think so. I only ran it a couple of minutes, and the water wasn’t That Dirty! See picture below. Aslo, I can’t get the top cylinder to stop misfiring. The new points are flush, and it is timed with a timing tool. I replaced the spark plug wire also. Wondering if the coil is throwing intermitten spark? Thank you so much for anyone of you that can help. sincerely, John VI see you are a new member ..

if your GC oil is not contaminated holes are just drains and seals are ok
recheck points and clean again condenser may be bad if coils are cracked replace ….top coil may be shorting out when hot (check for burns)

That is not gear oil. It is the oil that you mixed with the gas. It has gone through the engine, some burned (smoke) and the rest out the exhaust where it emulsified with water, Probably agrivated by the mis-firing and bucket-running. Get it running correctly, and on a boat where it was intended to run, and adjusted properly, and it will run much cleaner.
