If it's black oil your fine. If it's gray or amber you have a problem.

Re: oil leaks

It's just unburned oil gas residue dripping down the inside of the motor leg. It's normal on carbed 2-strokes.

Re: oil leaks

Hi.......I was wondering if this is normal on 15hp 4 strokes?

Not really...But, on a new engine it is possible you could get some oil dripping out.
