Brown looking gravy (when I shut it off)

[Skyhigh]

When I shut engine off, this stuff comes for the prop. Any Idea ?

Sounds like lower unit lube. How long does it drip for? Have you taken off the prop to take a look. Don't you just love engine trouble?

It only comes out for a Minute or Two. I don’t think it's the lower unit cause there is no water in it and I did a presser test and vacuums test.<br /><br />Can it be a bad head gasket? (Water, fuel and oil Mix together)<br /><br />By the way i did spray WD 40 in the cylinders.

Sky,<br />What you see is a mixture of water and unburned fuel/oil. You'll see more or less depending on the amount of slow idling or slow trolling and it's normal.

Thank you, Xcusme <br /><br />I was in neutral for about 5 Minute on muffs.
