gunk leaking from exhaust

[vprgtsr001]

I have an 84' force 50 hp outboard. The engine hasnt been run in 2 years. The last it was running it was operating smoothly (including shift functions). I cleaned out the carb and ran the motor today for the first time since 2 years ago. It was never flogged for storage. Before turning it over i squirted oil in both cylinders and let it sit for about 30 minutes and turned it over w/o plugs just to ensure lube. The engine started on the first turn over and seemed to run smoothly. I had it submerged in a 55 gallon drum because ears never worked for this motor. I ran the motor for about 10 minutes and drained the drum. I noticed later on that a thick gray gooey liquid was dripping out of the exhaust hole just above the prop. It made a puddle about the size of a basketball before it stopped. I havent checked the oil level of the lower unit yet. Any suggestions on what this could be? It has me worried. Thanks

Re: gunk leaking from exhaust

Chances are it is the oil you squirted into the cylinders. If you are worried it is lower unit oil remove the drain plug and let a couple drops of oil out and verify there is no water in the gear housing.
