    Anybody know the name of that piece? Fished yesterday, everything ran fine. Came out this morning to this… I assume it’s lower unit oil?

    But what is that part and is there a gasket? I don’t want to tear it off and let’s everything get dry waiting on parts.

    As dumb as I sound I didn’t know what that part was called! I assumed it’s a seal. I’ve had some clean oil drip down after use. It’s a really old motor, figured the bowls were filled up and it’s just finding it’s way out of the motor cover. But when I stepped out for work this morning saw this stuff and was worried.

    So this is semi burnt motor oil, not lower unit lube? Thanks for the advice.
