The fact that the oil and water never mixed may be a good sign 
I would put some fresh oil in it and back it down into the water at the ramp and run it in forward and reverse for 5 minutes or so, then check it out

You might just have a problem with fuel pooling in the crankcase from idling when flushing, happens when the motor is tilted to far up when flushing , check the oil in the foot..happend to me once, thought the foot was gone, not so, been almost two years, I change the gear lube every year...

I'm fairly sure it's a shaft seal leaking. My shaft is bent slightly. I think the seal got damaged. Boat mechanic brought it to my attention two months ago but said it was not enough to worry about right away. Do ya'll suppose I should start to worry about it now? 
Thanks for everyones suggestions.

Jerry's Marine in Panacea can get the shaft straitened and install all new seals for around $300 Had it done on my 50 Merc when I had the ol Bass Tracker "been about 3 years, so may be a little more now"
