"When you say 'vents'

"When you say 'vents' are you referring to the weep holes just south of the water pump area? If so, then you are probably seeing unburnt fuel. When the motor is cold, run too rich or run in very cold water, unburnt fuel will condense inside the exhaust tower and seep out the exhaust and weep holes.

Double check by draining a bit of oil from the lower unit. If the L/U oil is clear, then what you are seeing is as explained above."
