Pop the hood and have a look. I wouldn't worry about a couple of drops, but there may be more under the hood. If you get puddles, you got a problem.

Re: Ficht 90 quick question?

the vertical throttle shafts and bushing allow oil mist to collect and drip into the motor pan, which will slowly drip into the transom well when the motor is tilted. In 2002 and later motors, BRP redesigned the throttle bodies and the problem is minimized.
