Re: 30 evinrude 1994 lower unit prob

You're right, it's probably just unburned fuel from the exhaust. If your lower unit is nice and tight it usually doesn't leak from there but since it's annoying you, loosen it a little, clean the edges and put a thin coating of gasket sealant on the edge and retighten it. THat hopefully will solve your problem. A little black stuff is pretty normal.
Hope this helps,
