Possible Oil Leak?

[SkiSprinkle686]

Noticed a leak coming from the engine this weekend. I have an 03 Johnson 50hp 2 stroke. Can anyone tell me what this might possibly be?

Looks like a fuel system leak as it appears greenish. Like oil/gas mixture.

remove cowl, squeeze bulb gently till firm, keep squeezing gently, find leak, fix.

may help to have engine tilted slightly forward in case it's coming from a bad float in a carb.

Agreed on 2 cycle oil. Some OBs dump their fuel from the carbs when tilted up. This can drip out like you are seeing. Alternatively, it could be a flooding carb.

Or leaking hose or hose fitting connection.
