as to oil in the gearcase….of course the BEST solution is to open it inspect and fix but it may be just leaking a bit. Replacing the oil a few times is cheap and will protect it while you figure out how to fix it yourself. Of course you can always bring it to a dealer and have him reseal and presuure test the gearcase $$$$
