Does not sound normal, check all hose and clamps to see if you spot a leak. Keep us posted.

You really can't see under the ski locker. Do you mean in the ski locker? If you see oil there, you should see a lot more in the engine compartment. I'd wash it out as well as you can and see if it comes back. The under deck of my boat was filthy and took a lot of flushing to get the crud out.
