all my premix motors drip a whiteish creamy mess, followed by the black mess. its unburnt oil/fuel. not sure about the color?did you change your oil brand, get fuel from a different spot?

This could be a pink bacteria growing in your leg. Do other boaters in your area also have this problem? The pink bacteria can be killed by flushing with muffs, with a chlorine injection system of some sort attached to the garden hose.
