    Exactly, what Chris said. That looks like liquified grease, not crankcase oil. Crankcase oil would be as clear as the stuff you put in the tank—at least until it mixed with grease and wear particles from the plate swivel mount. Wash it down and reassemble with just a thin smear of EP grease on wear surfaces. Any excess does no good and just gets flung out by vibration.
