72 Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Q's

[WingedOctopus]

Hello all, I'm new here and am a rookie when it comes to outboards. Did some wheelin' and dealin' and got my self a 12ft aluminum crest liner with a 9.5 sportwin. Cleaned up the boat now I'm onto the motor. The previous owner said it had ran before he put it in storage roughly 2 years ago. I cleaned it up changed fuel and spark plugs. No joke it started first pull with a shot of ether. Runs great! I noticed a leak (a little stream of water) coming from what looks like a gasket (picture 1 wear the orange paint is.). I also noticed oil in the water of the bucket after running it for probably .5 hour! Since I'm new to out boards I was wondering where that leaks coming from and what's the deal with the oil? Thanks in advance!

Apparently I can't post pictures.
Leak is coming from the right side just to the left of where the pull cord is underneath the stator housing

The oil in the water is normal, the leak isn't.

No Title

Item #50, part number 309696 gasket under the starter bearing housing??

And yep, here it is not even noon yet on Sunday, beginning a new week and we already got the weekly (at least) oil-in-the-barrel question. It's still normal.

I think you need at least 3 posts before you can post photos. So after one more you should be able.

I was trying not to be that guy! Building hot rods and motorcycles oil anywhere but inside is bad!

Pretty sure this is it! Thanks for the help!
