Sounds like you didn't replace or get in the right place some orings that go between the two halves.

You might het a better response id you put more of the question or a topic in the title.

Hi, Pat,

To add to David's post- please give as much information as you can about what you're working on- things like:

• vessel make and year
• drive type
• engine data

Help us to help you.

What manual were you working out off ?

A title like "problem" is rather vague.

If this is an A drive, I'll agree with Dave.

There will be an O-ring seal that installs in a small groove in the oil passage that leads from the lower unit to the upper unit.

When this area leaks, you may see oil where you are describing it.

Yeah that's the oring I was talking about. Ask me how I know

And it really is not an "O" ring per say - it is a flat rubber washer about 1/8" thick that fits into the flat machined "groove" of the lower unit.

Wonder what happened to the OP?
