Its normal for some fuel/oil to get in the bottom of the airbox. There is a small drain hose at the bottom that connects to the crankcase to act as a drain.<br /><br />There are a couple of different airbox styles so without knowing which Ocean Runner you have its hard to be more specific.

Capn...Are you talking about below the lower unit on the water? If so then it's most likely just some left over exhaust oil/gas leaking out when it's trimmed up. Carbed 2 strokes are dirty things so some unburned oil and/or fuel will always be in the lower unit.
