I winterized my 120 force by putting stabil in the gas and put the muffs on and ran the motor for 5 minutes. Ran great with no overheating problems tilted the motor and let the water drain accordingly.I put in the garage and 2 days later when I went out to check it there is a small amount of oil on the cement. After running my finger in the exhaust noticed oil in the exhaust port. Is this a problem or could this be normal???

Normal. Your mixing 50:1 oil and gas and the oil don't all burn up, just does its job and goes out the exhaust.

It usually happens after a long idling. 5 mins may not sound that long but for a 2 stroke that is long enough to accumulate unburned fuel-oil mix to settle at the bottom of the crankcase and eventually seep down into the lower unit.
