If that shit is coming out
If that shit is coming out of the prop seal get it checked out or you'll be up for dollars. If that's gearbox oil you want to get it changed and the seals done before it wrecks something inside. You might still be able to save it if you get onto it straight away.

as above.
Prop seal gone. That is gearbox oil mixed with water.
Easy enough fix, but get it done sooner than later.
