Re: white discharge

Completely normal. Keep in mind that you're mixing oil with gas and the result of that combustion mixes with the water used for cooling. This is what you are seeing.

Re: white discharge

Check the lower unit for water in the oil.
If it's ok then like admjr says, normal.
When you check the oil?
Make sure you don't remove the slotted screw on the side of the lower unit.
