Got the new motor brand new and out of the box. Once verticle a light oil liquid came out of prop area and has had some drips from time to time. Its like motor oil but more clear. Is this just a type of lube they place in there for packing purposes or is this a problem?

Try running the motor and see if the problem continues. It's probably just lube from the factory for shipping as you suggested.
