Sometimes it’s the unburned fuel that comes out of the muffler. It occurs because of the plugged air filter that doesn’t let air going into the piston. When the air cannot properly make the way to the pistons, the fuel remains unburned.
All internal parts of your lawn mower engine stay within the engine block. It’s also responsible for flowing the fluids to various components. If there is a crack in that block, it will make fluids to escape, which will end up leaking from the exhaust system. [links]
Besides, the fuel fails to burn when the carburetor isn’t adjusted, or the float gets stuck inside it. All these incidents cause unburned fuel to eject through the muffler. However, if the liquid that comes out of the exhaust system smells like gas, it’s most likely flooding issue.
You are working in the yard with your lawn mower, and all of a sudden, you notice that it’s leaking oil from the exhaust. If you did not notice this for a longer time, it might have leaked oil all over the yard. Whatever, this is something we don’t except.

I made a threaded tube to fit the spark plug hole and the leak down tester. with this, the leak down test showed we have 70 % leak down losses at the best location. I can hear pressure on the intake coming out of the intake side.

Re: Oil leaking from two small holes in lower unit
I'm going to check the lower unit oil level again and make sure it isn't overfilled. I made certain to not do that when I refilled it, but it is worth another check. The oil definitely doesn't smell like gear oil so I think I'm in the clear. more
Re: Oil leaking from two small holes in lower unit
I do get those black oil from unburned fuel every start of summer. But after daily use in the summer the dripping stops. And yes, the smell of fuel vice strong smell of sulfur will tell you if it's gear oil or not. more
Please post a close picture of the engine?s concern and info (year, model, model #, etc).
