If your oil injector goes out does it sound any alarms before locking up? My merc 150 made a squeak and slowed down then died. Now locked up. Does that sound like a oil injector issue or lower unit? Pulled plugs no obvious signs and still oil on plugs. It still goes into gears as normal, but the flywheel is locked up

Depending on the age of the engine, The earlier models did have an alarm on the oil pump to let you know it was turning. The later models do not. A squealing sound could be lower. Do like Martin says and drop the lower unit to be sure.
