  • If non-discoloured grease is ejected from the specific area (partially), the grease amount is insufficient and the oil seal is worn. Perform service work or replace the propeller shaft with a new one.
  • If the white cloudy grease is ejected, water has been mixed in grease. Perform service work or replace the propeller shaft with a new one.
