1981 75hp Evinrude, after I shut down the engine there is oil leaking from the lower unit , it is not gear oil, it appears to be oil from the fuel oil mix, not fuel just oil, I checked the lower unit, no water in the lower unit, lube is clean and lower unit was full. where is the oil comming from?

Re: Two Cycle oil leaking from lower unit

If it's coming out of the exhaust where it should be coming out it's probably just unburnt gas/oil mix. This is normal at lower speeds as not all of it gets burned properly. If the lower unit oil is still good that's a very good thing.
