I have a 1990 XP 175 that has "oil" that leaks from the "exhaust holes" slightly below the cowling. I have seen this before on some GT motors. Is this a sign of a bigger problem?

Welcome to the boards, depends what you call bigger problems? More than likely the power head to mid gasket is saturated with fuel/oil from over the years and needs to be replaced. You have to pull the head to replace the gasket. $15.00 part $200 labor. All the gasket material needs to be cleaned off the adapter plate and the PH bottom.

Im with CM but one question, your from PA, is this the first time you have used the motor this year?
Yes, this it was the first time this year. I fish alot of elecrtic only lakes which really cuts down on the fuel bill.
