XZ outdrives both using some drive oil 327 hrs on each, 2nd owner but previous owner never had any breakdowns and was super anal about oil changes etc. I'm pretty confident it's prop shaft seals and was wondering if anybody can point me to a disassembly guide. I popped the cheesy alum cover off and see a blue anodized stamping that appears to be the seal carrier? Can't quite figure whether it's held in by larger spanner ring?? A you tube video etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Update, Found the leak to be coming from the reservoir bottle up on top of the engine. It was leaking lube out through the sensor wires and what looks like clear silicone. Never got any oil out of the drain plug because my intake water pump has a leaking hose so it was flushed out often.
