after returning from the lake yesterday i noticed that there was oil/ water mix leaking out of a small hole on the passenger side of my lower unit just above the antiventilation plate. the hole is towards the front of the outdrive. is this normal. i was idling the boat all day. i was on a no wake lake. thankyou from your input.

Sounds normal. That's a small hole for water to escape the lower unit to prevent cracking it during sub-freezing temps. Some unburned fuel/oil mix would not be uncommon weeping from that hole, especially since you trolled alot....
