oil leaking from exhaust port

[chrisandrew69ss]

I have a 1979 chrysler 20 hp motor that hasn't been run for a while. When I started it up it ran great but a few hour after I shut it off I noticed a bit of oil running down the exhaust port and just a small bit coming from the junction at the lower end. I was wondering if this was normal or if something needs fixed.<br /> Thanks

Hi chris....if the fluid is a dark black, it's just unburned oil and carbon and nothing much to fear...just makes a mess. You may be able to lesson the drip by a good decarb. Might want to check the spark plug gap also. Poor spark can cause poor combution in the cylinders resulting in nasty black oil ejection. A good tune up maybe all the engine needs. Do not forget compression readings on each cylinder.

Hey Chris,<br /><br />Had the same worry when purchasing my boat. The previous two replys were absolutely correct in my case. No worries!!!
