" Hello,

Took the old 86 force 125 out for the first time after rebuilding the powerhead. Boat ran great. Kept it at no more than half throttle while i was cruising. The next day i noticed some black oil dripping out of the exhaust port in front of the prop. I did double up the oil in the gas tank for break-in. Is this some thing that should concern me or could this oil just be left over in the motor and thru the force of gravity be draining out.After four days mayby a teaspoon of oil is laying in the driveway.

Thanks Ray "
