[QUOTE="cajuncook1, post: 311587, member: 2832"] The oily oozing you see coming out of the weep hole is normal. It should smell like a mixture of gas, oil and water. The gear case oil has a different smell. To check if your gearcase is leaking oil or water is intruding in the gear case through seals, you just drain the lower unit oil and see if there is apparent water or a coffee cream to whitish oil draining out. If there is neither then your seals are intact and indeed the drainage you see coming out is unused fuel mix and water draining out as it should. Will check back tomorrow. Cheers [/QUOTE]
