I have a 1986 90 HP Evinrude with a oil leak at the prop, actually while winterizing it it sprayed out some oil kind of like a fine spray, any ideas of what the prob might be ?
any idea if it will have Major affect on my Beer funds ?
see photo.
Many Thanks in advance, Bulldog

Agree. As long as the substance is black and looks like tar, you are ok. The excess winterizing oil will run down the exhaust tube in the midsection and will mix with the existing exhaust tar, then run out the lower unit. It's a normal occurrence.
