Can anyone tell me why oil drained out on the ground when I lowered the trim to drain any water in the prop? Is it gear lube? Easy fix or should I take it to a professional?

Picture below.

I watched the video.
​The only thing the guy did wrong was use a power tool to undo the 4 screws that hold the shift mechanism.

​The chances of twisting off the heads of the screws is too great.
I work with mostly salt water abused boats.
The salt gets in and causes even the best drives/motors to be a bit harder to work on.
