Are you absolutely sure it's the DFI Oil? It could be lower unit lube being pushed out the top seal. I've seen this before.

Easiest way to check is to loosen the Lower unit fill screw, and see if water comes out. If so, then you have a bad prop shaft seal. Remove the prop and check for fishing line wrapped up and past the seal. Then get the seal replaced, along with new lube.
