I have what looks like gear oil coming out the scag hole what causes that

[@lilschwartzy921]

i have this same motor wondering how to trim the motor with out it kee slipping all the way negative

[@DougsMessyGarage]

There should be a cross bar that fits across the transom clamp that is the manually adjustable trim. The trim bar does have a habit of disappearing on older outboards so yours may be gone.
