Trim Button on Motor

[Reverend Redfish]

Hey guys, need ya thoughts on this... I have a Mercury Optimax 115 with about 20 hours on it as of now. Knowing that the trim button on the outer side is an electric switch, there's oil leaking from the switch. When I open the top - I can't tell where the oil is coming from. What do y'all think this could be?

It is going in the shop on Monday but my curiosity has gotten the best of me and I'm drained trying to find out what this could be or where it's coming from... If you look on the "right" side of the switch you can see the oil and you can see the path of the leak - leading down from the switch.

Thanks,

Rev

probably leaking from the oil reservoir. if it was leaking from the pump or oil line a cylinder prob would have burnt by now. could be wrong though.

isnt there a line coming from the reservoir that runs right there with a pinch clamp fitting?
