Sign (Picture) Of A Problem?

[Boss Hawg]

Noticed this spot of some sort of leakage/seepage (one on top)
Its dry now of course & looks the same as the exsaust mess but not sure if it was wet or oily to begin with? Theres a very small spot on the other side too -
Was hoping someone would know what it was & if this was something i needed to address now
Its a 1987 70hp VRO (VRO disconected) Johnson
Thanks-

Just unburned fuel (gas and oil) that mixed with the water flowing out of the motor ... nothing to worry about.

If you're paranoid about the leakage, you can drop the lower unit and put some gasket sealer around the top ... but IMO, that's more trouble than it's worth!

THANK YOU
One less thing to NOT worry about
