Shift Shaft Oil Seal, but check for the correct oil level first & give it a run out do not overfill.
Mercury installs only one seal with the lip facing outward to keep water out, this is a purge seal, if unit is slightly over filled it will purge from this seal saving all other seals from blowing out causing major failure. The Sportmaster runs much hotter than a stock unit that is fully submerged which causes lube to expand. If oil is leaking from pick up holes, it is leaking from the seals under the water pump
Hope this helps
