I have a 1982 Evinrude 115 on an 83' 17 1/2 Glassmaster. Motor runs great and has always been well maintained. The problem is lately I have noticed oil running down the outside of the shaft of the motor. It seems to start from the beginning of the shaft and drips all the way down to the bottom of the shaft/lower unit. Also have steam running out of the upper exhuast ports. Motor is still running good but I have been hesitant to run it for a long period of time until I can figure out what is going on. If I look down the propellor where the exhaust comes out I can see oil build up down there too. Steam coming out smells like burned oil. Could it just be to rich of a fuel mixture? This motor has never been rebuilt to my knowledge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
