I have a 1986 3.0 mercruiser I have had problems with the starter lately I have noticed (before starter problem) that I have a small oil leak into my bildge it appears to be coming from the starter, or around it. It's not much of a leak but an oil leak nonetheless. It was not there before could this be related to the starter? I cant really see under the engine but it seem to build up on the starter and drip from there.
