I uncovered my boat after a long frozen winter and while checking the engine I noticed some water and oil coming out of a hole in the lower unit. It appeared to be below...slightly off center...of the speedometer tube. Any ideas what may have happened? is this an issue? I am a newbie so forgive my ignorance...but thats why we have these forums.

Details on motor...1996 Mercury 60hp (non-bigfoot) 2 stroke with oil injection.

1 pick is the engine and the other is a closeup of the area...I tried to use arrows to show it.

Got my answer..drained the lower unit and discover water and oil in it...seals are shot. Took it in to get fixed.
