Just bought the fitting assembly that goes threw the transom. Will install that on Wednesday and pray that it does not leak!

well it wasn't the fitting assembly that goes threw the transom, the one old one looked just as good as the new one. The fluid was loaded up on top of the exhaust bellow the drive. Even though the bottle was brand new I tested it for any leaks also and no leaks.

Yolk seal. Where your "U" join goes into the drive, Remove the drive and if you have oil in the bellows, it's the yolk seal. Many had this issue, many threads.
