a second opinion thinks it may be a blown seal, which doesnt sound cheap. anyway off to the mechanic i suppose.

That "oil" out of the prop may just be exhaust. The battery cable I can not answer at this time.

thanks paul, i think the cable was a loose ground on the motor

No problem. A loose cable would cause over heating of a cable.
