'92 Force 150, I see a round 1/8" hole in the leading edge of my lower unit aprox 2" above the prop shaft/horizontal gear, is it supposed to be there? It seems like its leaking a tiny drop of oil. thanks, Bill

That would be a built-in speedometer pickup. If that's gearlube, it may have cracked between the main cavity and pickup cavity. If it's water, no problem.

IF it is white and frothy it could be unburned gas and oil. Take a whiff of it. Nothing stinks like lower unit oil.
