I went boating yesterday and ran the motor (1998 120 Force) at a lower rpm for a long duration and the motor seemed fine. After boating, I noticed dark oil seeping from the peephole on the lower unit near prop. I've attached a photo that was taken after I cleaned up much of the oil. Any idea what the problem is and how it can be fixed? Will it cause harm running the motor like this?
