Thanks everyone.

Don was on spot. The small reservoir that collects oil when you change the filer has a small canal that drains the oil through the nipple. I almost missed it the first and second time I looked, but felt it with my finger. Thanks Don.

Porman, you have an exceptional looking and well made boat. We should compare notes off line.

Regarding the dripless seal vs packing glands - I'm staying with my current system b/c I don't have the time right now to install another system. Where I'm located I don't have access to a range of marine mechanics, and I am more comfortable doing the work myself if time permits. Thanks for your comments. The value of this forum is invaluable.
