Oil draining on to Prop?

Ok so I think I have a game plan for my problem but thought why not get some extra heads on this problem. Ran the boat Saturday for the first time since I put it up the day after the MAD event. Ran fine on the hose with one exception no water from the telltell or the upper exhaust port. So I shut it down and found no clog. Cranked it again plenty of water exiting from the prop exhaust and engine was not overheating at all. So came home from church and noticed a small trail of oil on the skeg. Then I see a lot of oil built up on the underside of the prop and out the front of the hub. So I am going to replace the water pump. Engine is a 2 stroke 130 Johnson so my hope is that this oil is just build up from the upper exhaust draining down. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I would think you may have a bad shaft seal.

I second that on the seal. I have had it myself.

I would put money on bad prop shaft seal as well. I wouldn’t put that back in the water without replacing it.
