Oil leaking from exhaust

Recommended Posts

I have a newer Mercury 9.9 classic 2 stroke that leaks some sort of oil from what looks to be the exhaust port. I've checked to make sure the lower unit is full and it is. Anyone ever seen this? Is it something I should be concened with? The motor runs perfectly, but once I put it in the garage after running it, oil drips out. What could be causing this?

It's done that for a couple years now, and it's never lost any lower unit oil. Is there a way to stop or minimize it? Or is it just one of those things that happens?

Thanks for all the help guys.

Not much, other than making sure you mix at 50:1 as you said you do, and I've heard others say switching to Amsoil has helped a little. It's just one of those things
