Default How much water is too much in od oil?

I've got an OMC Cobra outdrive. Just changed the outdrive oil and noticed some water in the oil.

Not alot but some. :depressed:. I know none is the right answer...

I paid to have the seals replaced two summers ago (50 hours). How long will seals normally last?

A little water could be from condensation.

Just my opinion but more than a teaspoon I would be fixing it. Seals should last hundreds of hours unless something takes them out. Fishline,damaged sealing surface etc.
