Your motor is probably a 2-stroke, which means you mix 2-cycle oil with the gasoline in the fuel tank. It doesn't hold any oil in the crankcase like a 4-stroke does. Unless you are referring to the lower unit. There should be a sight glass or a fill plug you can open to check the gear oil in the lower unit. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
