milky oil

Hey Folks,

I am totally new to the forum world so bear with me. my 1975 27' O"Day (new to me) has a few problems:

1- i think the oil in the gearbox looks milky. i will drain it tomorrow and re-fill with good oil and then run it for a few minutes and check the oil again for contamination. i'll do that a few times but my gut tells me the engine has an issue. what is the order of things i should check should i find the new oil becoming muddy?

2- i have a slow drip from the front of the water pump while running. do i need to drop the water out of the block before i pull the pump? and is there a seal on the front end of the pump/shaft?
