ok i just finished with the boat did some searches on how to.... now, i stabilized the gas, fogged the cylinders and then noticed black oil leaking from the prop. so i checked the lower unit oil and it is fine not black or milky. allthough when i open the drain plug expecting the oil to shoot out it didnt, so i remove it totaly and it slowly leaked out? is this because the oil is very thick or is the level very low?

There should be a screw at the top of the unit to take out as well. It allows the oil to go out faster.

 

It is leaking out slowly because there is a vaccuum present.

 

When filling the unit back up with oil, fill it from the bottom to push all air out the top hole. If there's air left in there, it can cause condensation to build up and parts "could" rust.
