Small amount of water in Leg should I worry??

[stockyjr]

I drained the oil from my 140hp Evinrude today and noticed that about 4 teaspoons of clear water ran out before the oil. The oil was not milky. Should I be concerned about this or is it normal to collect a small amount of water maybe condensation in the leg.<br /><br />Thanks<br />John

No not normal..<br />You either have a leaky seal, or the washers on the Fill/vent srews are damaged or missing.<br />Check them first.<br />If you vaccum/pressure test, it should hold @15lb for 15 minutes or something like that.
