"If black, probably unburnt two stroke oil from the exhaust system, but check oil in gearcase anyway."

"In total agreement with Mort as this is usually the case. However, should the substance actually be gearcase oil, the leak is usually due to faulty seals within the bearing/seal housing located just under the water pump plate, or at the shift rod "O" Ring.

I did not notice oil last seas

I did not notice oil last season would changing plugs affect the oil burning off? I had gapless plugs last year but had take off power problems a johnson dealer looked up the plugs and said gapped plugs would be better??
