without a picture, I'm going to guess it's "blue" oil, probably coming from the exhaust ports,,, just unburned oil. hook it up to ear muffs in your yard and let it run for a bit- it"ll burn off.

my 2-stroke Yamaha did that once.

I got off the water there was nothing leaking hooked ear muffs up to flush out with freshwater and noticed it after I had got done cleaning the boat. it used to just leak a little which I was told was normal, but now it seems serious. ( I still have vro hooked up)

Typically it comes from long idling before you put it on the trailer. If its gearoil it will smell strong and a little sulfury like gear oil, if its oily 2 stroke exhaust it will smell like gasoline.
