Milky oil is a sure sign of water contamination usually due to defective seal(s). Find the leak and you absolutely need to change the oil.the drive must be pressure tested and then vacuum tested there are double seal s back to back and out put and input shaft also the oil fill screws must have a good o-ring to keep out water
yes it can water can leak into the intake valley and get into your oil resulting in milky oil
The oil sending unit is located slightly lower than the distributor on the engine block.

To rebuild a lower unit on a 40hp Mercury outboard, start by removing the lower unit from the engine by unscrewing the bolts and disconnecting the shift linkage. Drain the gear oil and disassemble the lower unit, noting the arrangement of parts. Replace worn components such as seals, bearings, and the water pump, then reassemble the unit, ensuring all parts are properly aligned. Finally, refill with the appropriate gear oil and reinstall the lower unit on the outboard.
The oil capacity for a Johnson lower unit outboard typically ranges from 1 to 2 quarts, depending on the specific model and year. It's important to refer to the owner’s manual for your specific outboard model for the exact oil capacity and type recommended. Always use the manufacturer-recommended gear oil to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the lower unit.
If the horsepower of your Mercury outboard lower unit is 75 and below, SAE 80W90 Gear Lube is recommended.
The oil capacity for the lower unit of a 1985 90 hp Johnson outboard motor is approximately 24 ounces (or 0.75 liters) of gear oil. It's important to use the appropriate type of gear oil recommended by the manufacturer, typically a high-quality marine gear oil. Always ensure the lower unit is properly filled and check for any leaks after servicing.
Condensation of moisture mixed with the oil film inside the cap. If oil in oil pan is not "milky" you are ok.
No. Coolant should not leak from the oil sending unit. the unit's purpose is to send a pressure reading to a guage or, in case of a warning light, turn it on in the event of an unsafe drop in oil pressure. no anti-freeze coolant should come from this unit. if there is, you are most likely looking at the temperature switch or sending unit and not the oil sending unit. however.. if there is a mixture of coolant and oil comming from it that has a milky look to it then you have coolant seeping into your oil which indicates a blown head gasket, cracked or warped head, or a cracked block.
first of all what oil your are talking about , i hope not engine oil because there is non that is two stroke engine. lower unit has a draining bolt on the bottom and air or fill bolt on the top of the lower unit....
I use 80 weight gear oil.
If your Celebrity has the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine the oil sending unit is on the side of the block below the intake manifold. If your Celebrity has the 2.8L V6 the oil sending unit is on the lower side of the block next to the oil filter.
