Force 120 oil leak??

[termz]

I removed my lower unit to replace the water pump and I let the boat sit over night with the lower unit off. when I went out in the morning I had a small patch of oil under the motor. Since the lower unit was off I thought nothing of it. Put the new pump and and bolted her back together came out the next day and another small patch of oil on the ground. I found this awkward because my force takes pre mixed gas so idk where this oil is coming from any ideas on where this could be coming from and should I be worried?

Snce it's a carbed motor. Some gas is gonna leak from the carb.
It filters it's way down and the gas evaporates and leave a dirty oil dripping.

Smell it! If it smells like sulphur, it is lower unit oil. If it smells like gasoline or nondescript oil, it is residual unburned oil which collected on the inside of the midleg and is slowly dripping.
