just finished changing oil on 2001 yamaha 4-strole 115. a little oil is coming out of a small hole in the lower unit. my filter change was a little sloppy, and some of the oil got past the paper towel, and down into the bottom of the cowling. the leaking(seeping) oil is dark, used oil. is this oil thats seeping out just spilled oil finding its way out? the hole is on the starboard side of the bottom unit. thanks in advance.....captn-tin
