Oil leak or overflow?

I decarbed my engine last week out on the lake....used seafoam in a portable tank with 3/4 gallon of gas.....went through the procedure and afterwards ran WOT for at least a half hour or so around the lake. noticed afterwards at home when I took the engine cowl off to change the plugs about 1/4 cup or so of clean 2 stroke oil pooled in the bottom of the engine housing towards the front as the engine was tilted up. Couldnt find any signs of the point of origin of this oil from the resevoir or anywhere else. Everything looked clean, traced the line from the resevoir and all seemed ok.

Anything to be concerned about?
 
When I had my Yamaha of the same year it use to do that from time to time after I ran it hard , just extra not burned oil. Should be fine.
Another time the float switch on the oil tank on motor went and would allow the tank to over flow, cost $130 just for the float :bat:
 
thanks MJ, not going to worry about it for now.....probably overestimated the amount too....maybe just a couple of tablespoons....Will keep an eye on it.
 
i had to rebuild a small merc because of a busted oil line. i would replace all of the oil lines under the cowling . cheaper than a powerhead....
