[QUOTE="cajuncook1, post: 160276, member: 2832"] 2 cycle motors don't burn all the fuel/oil, so some of it drains out of the foot. That little hole is a weep hole that drains water and some unburned oil/fuel mixed with water. Perfectly normal. If you smell the residual it will have a smell of fuel/oil/water mixture. The color of the gear oil is different. If in double, check the gear oil in the lower foot. Make sure you don't drain too much out or you will have to refill the gearcase. Good luck. edit: Your gear case looks ok. Drainage looks like it is coming the weap hole...totally normal. Here is a link for a good read about your Evinrude 6hp outboard https://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/OMC_6hp.htm [/QUOTE]
