So ive noticed a leak from the gear box on my murc

Im going to go to burnsco tomorrow and I’ll grab some oil

Ive looked up in the service manual and it takes 440mil
Are they Special seals or just o rings or something
Will burnsco have them?

Unless oil changed recently and possibly a bit of residue I would be extremely worried - most likely seal around prop shaft damaged and leaking have you removed prop and checked?  Might have fishing line wrapped and cutting into oil seal.
Drain oil and check for foaming/water if any present get checked or do yourself - water in gearbox gets very expensive and fast! 
Good fishing trip nothing breaks, great trip catch fish.

Usually replace drain plug washer when you are doing the gear box oil change - hope it’s not had the thread stripped .
