Wonder what happened to the OP?

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.

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

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
