Packing nut torque


Hi, all, on my 1998 445 with Cummins diesel’s the starboard shaft at the packing nut has started a drip about one per second while the shaft is not turning. I pulled about 4 to 5 gallons out of the bilge in 24 hours. Mechanics are going to take a look at it later today. Obviously, I don’t know if it’s simply tightening the nut or something else. Would anyone know approximately how many pounds of torque would be needed to tighten that nut? Thanks advance!
