Believe that the F1 box dimensions are the same as 51' Merc.
Shaft dia. 1-1/4", box C'bore- 1-11/16".
If that's the case then you can remove the pitman arm and install an
(SKF# 12336 oil seal)

It's not leaking at the pitman arm shaft, and it is not overfilled. I'm running 90 wt gear oil, and I think it seeps at various spots-the gasketed covers and the adjusting bolt cap. It's all sealed with the RTV and torqued to spec. After all that I've read I do expect it to seep a little unless I switch over to the Cornhead Grease.
