Lube Leak in '82 4.5 hp Johnson

[JG4909]

I have lube leaking from the port "weephole" at the joint of the gearcase and leg.

Any ideas on cause/solution?

You would expect to see some unburnt oil from the fuel draining from there.

Provided it is not gear oil you have no problem. if you think it is check your gearcase of signs of water ingress ... milky oil
