It's supposed to drip something like a drop every 20 or so seconds. In the water does yours have a constant drip? Do a search on here for shaft packing or dripping and you will get a bunch of good info. In order to lessen the dripping you need to tighten the packing nut with the boat in the water, which is a pain in the arse to do. Mine has been dripping a good amount, but I've just left it alone because it's that much of a pain. It's not a hard job, but unless you have the right tools, or ones that have been modified to work in a tight area your going to get frustrated just trying to tighten it.
