Have the boat put away for the winter but stopped to get something and noticed a puddle of oil. It doesn't look like lower unit oil and from the back it looks like it is coming from the left side. I didn't take off the hood to cold but just wondering is there something under there that could have split. Thanks
well we gotta know what mtr ya got , we good but dang

Was the engine FOGGED? If so, if could be fogging oil and exhaust/carbon mixed (might look dark/dirty).
If unsure... see if you can put a piece of white paper under the engine to catch some of the liquid.

No problem- I've moved it for you.
You'll need to remove the cowling and do a visual inspection for oil leaks, especially around the Engine-mounted oil tank. There should be NO oil leaking in there.
