Oil leaking from hub on 1998 25hp Johnson outboard motor?

Question:
We got a piece of fishing line hung around it the other day. Pulled it off and it seemed to work fine. But now that it's out of the water, I noticed there is oil leaking around the hub. What do I do?

Your prop shaft seal has been compromised. There is a fishing line cutter that surrounds the seal but it does not work 100% of the time.

Where can I find parts and manuals for a late 1950's Scott-Atwater 9 Hp motor?

Drain lube, remove bearing carrier, replace prop shaft seals; inny, outty (lubed with gear oil), place carrier back in place; mind the 'O' rings, tighten nuts, and fill with gear lube.

did you remove the prop?? that mono line can get under the seal & make it leak. usually after removing the line all is ok. be sure to check the gear oil for water & replace if necessary. seals don't cost much & are relatively easy to replace.
