Maybe nothing.<br /><br />I've seen a number of times where people try to chase down motor drool only to spend a lot of money and frustration at it and still have it continue.<br /><br />Let the motor sit for a few days and drain the lower unit. Look for water to have separated and come out before the oil.<br /><br />If no water then the lower unit gear oil is probably not an issue. If you drain it right after running it might appear milky yet be only aerated.<br /><br />If the carbs are leaky and what you experience is drool from them. It might be possable to correct, yet many a good fine carbs might dribble when the motor is tilted. Could be considered normal yet washes down the midsection and comes out the bottom.<br /><br />If you have been running in a barrel or on the hose. Or even a lot of idling a two stroke motor can leave a lot of residual behind only to drool out when parked. Especially nowadays during winter when we might choke it a lot more.<br /><br />So if you just ran it hard for a period of time out on the water and haven't tilted the motor and it's all gooey on the floor it sounds like an issue.<br /><br />But if you are running it for any period of time at idle, and perhaps on the hose. Then tilted, and dropped the motor again....... it may be normal to see it puddle goop.<br /><br />Go ahead and check the lower unit oil, but like I said it can take a few days even during the warm days of summer till the water will settle out of the oil to become redily apparent when draining.<br /><br /><br />Hows it run? If it's dropping a cylinder or two it will only increase any unburnt fuel oil left over to drool also.<br /><br />If you do find water in the lower unit, you'll need to remove it and pressure test it to find the area(s) of concern.
