    Default Winterizing antifreeze dripping from shaft

    Just winterized. Recently had the vdrive replaced due to a leaking output shaft seal. It is now leaking oil again. I was under the boat and noticed the pink antifreeze coming out of where the shaft enters the boat. Any ideas on why this is happening? Related to leaking output shaft seal?

    Likely a dripless shaft seal, which is water cooled.

    Are you sure that may not be just left over from the purposeful shaft cooling water drip?

    It may be. I'm not aware of how that works (shaft cooling)

    Same raw water that cools the engine, cools the shaft seal. So its not actually a leak, just the lake water returning to the lake after passing through the seal assembly.

    Good deal I was afraid a chain reaction was happening somehow from the output shaft seal. Thanks guys!
