Oil Leak or No Problem?

[Contractor]

2005 Mercury 2 Stroke

60hp

Motor trimmed down and not run in about two months. Trimmed the motor up to put the transom saver back on and oil dripped out right about where the lower unit meets the powerhead. It's hard to say, but I'd guess a tablespoon full or so ran down the lower unit and dripped onto the ground.

I pulled the cowling to see if I could tell where the oil came from, but no luck. I thought perhaps the reservoir had leaked.

I have never noticed this happening before, so I'm looking to see if this is cause for concern before I haul it to my mechanic.

Contactor,

Take a closer look at what kind of oil it is. Most likely it is just fog spray lube from winterizing last season.
