SO, I noticed tonight that after sitting a few eeks in the same spot, there's a drip spot under the prop of my '90 Merc 115. Can that be considered normal? Never owned a OB boat before, not sure if it is "normal". Maybe I should pull the prop and check the shaft seal?

It may be just some oily residue from the exhaust housing... and normal. You need to determine what the drips are... gear-oil or thick burnt engine oil.
