Sounds like everything is fine. If you are fussy or practical just put a few drops of dish detergent in the molded pan under the engine and it will keep oils in suspension. Remember when the pan gets full the overspill just goes into the bilge. I squirt a little dish detergent in the bilge after each time I pump it. It really helps. The oils are pumped right out with the sea water. Remember - it is a boat all water heads for the bilge eventually. Enjoy yourself.
