As the others said – it’s normal, especailly on startup and during warmup. To reduce the mess in your test tank, squirt some liquid dish soap into the water. It will break down the oil, just as it breaks down grease on dirty pots and pans. You will immediately see it work if you already have oil on the water. Not too much dish soap or you can end up with soap suds bubbling out of the tank as the motor churns it up.
