I am getting what looks to be 2 stroke oil in my fuel separator. This is a new issue that appeared since I had some light service done at a local marina (battery, impeller, new water separator filter (just the filter)). I know one thing has nothing to do with the next but its just a strange coincidence.
I don't notice it to be extra smoky and it seems to run fine but the color seems to be getting more blue with each use. I was on it today running it all morning on and off with family.
Attached is a pic of what it looks like today.
My fuel primer ball was replaced with OEM maybe 7 months ago but I'm in Florida and its every bit of upper 90s and probably 100s on the trailer at my house.
Is there a chuck valve or something that may have gone bad. I typically do my own light work, if ya'll think is something reasonable I could do myself. I never noticed blue in the fuel water separator before so I assume its just a matter of time getting worse that its not all oil and no gas.

Any help is helpful, i'm obviously lost.
