Oil leak from lower cowling

[pigfish]

I have a small amount of oil leaking down the shaft after running my 2003 225hp evinrude ficht for a while. Doesn't seem to amount to much but is annoying & messy. the twin motor does not do this. anyone have this problem or any suggestions?

recirculating hose is loose or leaking.

I have similar issue but hose (I assume recirculation) appears to be attached to a blind hole.

Check your oil lines and oil pump for leaks and inspect throttle body shafts. If oil running down shafts it the oil mist condensed in intake. There was a kit for the shafts at one tme if I remember correctly....
