oil dripping out of exhaust port

[revertmastec]

Hello,<br /><br /> Took the old 86 force 125 out for the first time after rebuilding the powerhead. Boat ran great. Kept it at no more than half throttle while i was cruising. The next day i noticed some black oil dripping out of the exhaust port in front of the prop. I did double up the oil in the gas tank for break-in. Is this some thing that should concern me or could this oil just be left over in the motor and thru the force of gravity be draining out.After four days mayby a teaspoon of oil is laying in the driveway.<br /><br />Thanks Ray

It's just a guess as how I can't see it, but I think you're seeing unburned fuel/oil mixture. If so that's no problem.

Don't EVEN worry about it. My 115 merc does the same thing and has for 27 years. Still runs good.
