Aqua The best way to pull/replace that oil is with a suction gun (pepboys) necked down with a small tube , there a very small amount of 90 wt oil (3 oz)  in the bearing cavity and the "milk" suggest that the "mechanicl shaft seal is seeping. Seal leakage is often due to fishing line our weeds etc . The seals dont generally fail on thier own. Replace it and drive it again to see IMO, caution don't over fill it too much oil can cause the bearings to overheat ! Tom

Ps Check out our Modification kit for that drive if you haven't lately , uses all Berk style bolt ons (droops Place diverters etc) A/T internal parts ,17 4 race shaft ,HD Dominator bowl etc etc

i have been looking at your pump mods and if all goes well with the boat this summer you guys will be seeing my pump at the end of the season for a complete overhaul.

so when i chage this gear oil i only put in 3 ounces? also how hard is it to change this shaft seal? and do i have to order it from you? i am calling panther to place an order today for a ride plate so if i need to get some more parts from you i would like to include them in the order.
