i was in a tourn. today on the alabama river. i was putting along(not on plane) and ran the motor into a sandbar :oops: #-o . there is now oil coming from between the prop and lower unit and the vents above the cavitation plate. engine is a 80's model.(i didnt run the motor any after that).
 
You possibly bent the prop shaft or maybe just ruined your prop shaft seal.
I wouldn't worry about the oil coming from above because its probably just unburnt fuel and other gunk from your exhaust exiting out the weep hole.
 
finally got timeto look at it.no water in lower unit oil and the oil that leaked out smelled nothing like the gear oil. apperntly when it got choked out it sent half burned oily goo out the exhaust.i took the prop off seals behing it wer not leaking new oil in lower unit and good to go.
