just changed the lower unit oil (alpha one) and ran the boat to get the motor oil hot to change, changed the motor oil went to bed, woke up went to work came home and saw brand new clean green merc gear oil coming from the water inlet. what did i do wrong? i pumped the oil in from the bottom til it came out the vent and replaced the plugs. it never did this before. did i hurt it somehow?

i see that when i search it people say driveshaft seal, but which one is that. (see link below page 10)
