Oil leak from prop?

[68dodgeramman]

I've got a 2013 Evinrude 150hp Etec. It was winterized/fogged at the end of last season. I got it out of storage last week and yesterday I hooked the garden hose to it and started it. It smoked a little like expected, but now today I notice that there's a puddle of oil underneath the motor. It's coming from in between the prop and the housing. So I'm wondering if this is normal on start up after being auto-fogged? Any help is Greatly Appreciated. Hers a link to two pics;

Yes, it is. My old E-tec would do the same thing each year I winterized it. That Auto Fog is very nice! It drenches the cylinders with oil and pretty much everything downstream gest drenched as well. Once the cooling water goes through the crankcase passages and exits into the lower unit, it hits the exhaust port, and washes out all the excess oil. You won't get an oily film from the pee stream, because that comes straight out of the crankcase cooling outlet. You're fine. All's good!

Thanks Bryden, I was sure nervous when I came home and saw that. I thought, "oh s#@t we just bought that motor, aaaaaa!!!" That really puts my mind at ease.

lakerunner, thanks for the extra added piece of mind!
