which piece(s) are common to let water come in from sterndrive ?

Bellows, mini bellows for gear shift , seal/gasket between sterdrive and transom?
any other part to check ?

*Volvo DuoProp DPS-A

thanks

how old is the boat?
Sterndrives can leak from a lot of different places.
The driveshaft bellows is a prime suspect. They should be replaced every 5-7 years or so.

Wouldn't drive bellowsthrow water into bilge if leaking?.... the VP shift boot and exhaust bellows will not cause leak into boat or oil intrusion...please correct me if wrong...could also be propshaft seal...remove prop and check for fishing line..bad seals on drive drain, vent screw or measure rod on top....just a few more ideas to consider.....do you have alot or little water intrusion?
