I have an E110MLCUR . 1987 Evinrude 110.
I noticed a drop of contaminated oil on the bottom of the lower unit trim tab.
I have only recently done the inner and outter seals and bearings on the bearing carrier, as they were leaking.
Could the oil I found have come from that leak? Or, am I looking at a leaking seal somewhere else in th lower unit causing this. Weird place as I thought that the hole in the trim tab was for extra water intake for cooling the exhaust thru the prop hub.
Any ideas???
