Can you see where it's leaking?

I heard a definitive chirp when my prop dried up. Only took two blocks before I shut it down and called the flatbed. It's a known design flaw w/ these props. Heed the warnings and have it rebuilt by a professional or purchase a reman. shaft from one of the many reputable vendors recommend here. Note: It's a royal PITA to rebuild if you decide to tackle it yourself. Some may say its easy, but speaking from experience (Bear in mind I am no stranger to a wrench) it was a bitch.

To answer your original question. Spray some engine degreaser on there and gently (no pressure washer, the o2 sensors will thank you) wash off the oil. Run it for a couple days and monitor for leaks. I would wager a guess and say rear main seal and timing cover. Possibly valve cover gaskets. The VC gaskets do have a tendency to work themselves loose. However, I believe it will take a funky 10 or 12 point socket to snug them back up.
