1980 Johnson 2 stroke running dirty?

[Wall eye]

Ok so this is my first 2 stroke, I ran the boat in the water all last year and besides a starter problem she ran good. Yesterday I decided to fire her up in a garbage can it really seemed to run dirty, it had small streaks of (oil/gas?) that kind of ran down the side of the motor. The motor seemed to run good, I'm just wondering if the oil/gas streaks are something I should do something about.

More detail from where it was coming from would help. Also more info on motor, model number? There are small holes on some models, and yes, you will see oil/gas dripping from them. A picture is also very helpful.

The motor is a 50hp, model J50ELCSR. I added a pic, the oil streaks in the picture are dried up and lighter now.
