Default OutDrive Oil Leak

Hey all, I have recently purchased a 98 1900SRL with a 3.0L and AlphaOne outdrive. Have oil coming out of the drain holes on the outdrive when trimmed up.

Very slow leak, doesn’t happen when engine is trimmed down.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what to look at?

Shift shaft seal or seal on raw water pump.

Agreed...
Since it's also a new boat to you, servicing the water pump with a new impeller wouldn't be a bad idea as you chase down the oil leak.

If you are removing the lower unit, also check for an o-ring on the oil passage. And just one, not two.
