Changed crank case oil in 2011 20 hp 4 stroke and filter at end of 2018 season and as alway some oil from the filter change made its way past the rag and into the base of the upper cowl. Pretty sure I got it all wiped up and no drips but now small drips from under the cowl where the oil may settle when tilted up. Has not dripped in while then just started. I don’t run it much so odd. Is this a never ending drip if you don’t catch every drop that comes out of the oil filter when you change it? Has been hot lately so maybe the residual is thin enough to get between the cowl fitting. Just wondering if this is common or maybe I have another issue. Thanks
