On the merc I would check the airbox to see if it is coming from there. Most likely it is just some accumulated oil in the bottom of the airbox running out when you trim it up.

probably nothing serious, but merc uses pressure from the crankcase to push the oil out of the large tank to the smaller tank on the engine. check your top on your small tank and make sure it is tight. also check the oil lines going to the pump and from the pump tothe fuel line. i'm probably being a little paranoid, but my dad burnt up a 40 because of a split hose.

There is no such thing as being paranoid when it comes to fire on a boat.. There's only cautious and extra cautious....everything else is just foolish. I'd say you were right on the money Phat.

make sure its not the oil cap, they crack easily, look at teh top edge when you tighten it, it will open up some when you tighten

I have a 115 Johnson VRO and a Johnson 9.9 kicker and after I troll with either there is always oil coming from the exhaust and through the prop but I don't think I have seen it come from the cowl, but it is a milky brown color not fresh looking..since there is no oil tank under the cowls I guess i couldn't have fresh oil leaking..lol..

I'd reccomend trying the PENNSOIL synthetic blend for the oil coming out of the exhaust and such. I used to get this when I used QUIKSILVER(had 3 gallons that came with the boat), but it stopped with the PENNSOIL.
