Check the bolts holding the lower unit on ... if they are not loose you have likely lost an O-ring that seals the 2 pieces together.
good luck

That oil seeps and creeps.
Make sure that it is really coming from there, and not from somewhere higher like the fill screw and working its way down.
I had a scare once, bit it was a filler (vent) hole gasket (50 cents).

If this is an Alpha drive then the leak is probably the drive shaft seal in the lower gearcase located in the lower waterpump body. --- JP
