I have a 1999 evinrude 5hp 4 stroke and I noticed that the 2 parts of the power head do not line up with each other. During the summer I was running the boat at WOT and all of a sudden it lost power, started to smoke and oil was dripping out where the upper exhaust port is (underneath the lower cowling pieces). I was wondering if this is where the oil can be leaking from. Although the motor does run great, pumps water super strong and I have had not problems since unless I run WOT for a long time.

I'd get that figured out asap! Could absolutely be the cause of the leak. I'd be concerned with the event that knocked it out of line, it may present a future problem.
