I'm told if you have a dripless shaft seal that it would be normal.

Re: Dripping waterv
The two dripless systems I have had only dripped for a few hours if that. There was not enough water in the system to drip for a week.

Re: Dripping waterv
The cutless bearing housing is bedded on to a mix of chopped strand and resin - when we removed ours last week we noticed it was cracked. You may find the leak is coming from something like that, its not a major issue nor really a minor one. Just remove the housing and re bed it on new material.
