As you noted in your last post, this is one of the characteristics of 2 stroke outboards. For earlier models that ran much more oil in the mix this was normal (the drip pans under my old outboards are testament. The VRO systems were supposed to make this better. If you aren't doing a lot of trolling or doing a long troll back to the ramp, I'd suspect that your pump might be pushing too much oil.
