330 Express weep hole below captains chair foot rest

[330expressOC]

I got to my boat yesterday and noticed oil on the ground below the footrest of the captains chair. It looks like it is coming out of this little hole below the footrest. This is not the drainage hole for the footrest area- any ideas what this hole connects to and what this oil could be from? Thanks!

My guess is seastar steering fluid. Given the location at the helm.

Yep steering fluid. I had steering leak on my 305. That is where the oil drains to.
