I noticed an unusual amount of grease or oil inside the prop area of my 2002 Johnson 90 Hp , I don't know if this is supposed to be like this. Don't know if this helps but I recently changed the lower gear oil and ran the motor on muffs and then the motor was left outside and the weather got below freezing, could something have frozen and broke causing this oil?

If it was black, just unburned oil from the motor.
