Evinrude Oil Drops

[cf5]

I just bought a '99 or '2000 Evinrude ficht 115. Everything has been great, but this evening when I checked on the boat, I had 2-3 drops of oil that had leaked out of the engine case onto the boat...I removed the cowling and there were several streaks of oil under the engine...the problem is, of course, that I don't know where it is coming from.....any ideas and how can I fix ???

Motor was tilted up? If so, some small qty of oil typically drips from the carbs after running. If it's more than a little, start looking for the source.

Thanks Jim....it was tilted up...the strange thing this is the first time I've seen it and I've been out 3-4 times.
