We dropped the lower unit to un kink the speedometer hose and when we put the lower unit back a small bit of oil leaked out. Any idea what might have caused that?

Sounds like the seals are bad in your unit. That is just a drain hole for any standing water left on top of the lower unit when you pull the boat out of the water.
Might need a rebuild

Lower unit over fill. To refill/drain, you take out the bottom first, then the top. To fill, pump oil in from bottom till oil flows out the top. Then install top plug, then the bottom.

It's a weep hole for the driveshaft oil seal.... I'm pretty sure, it's been a while since I fooled with the Yami lowers though. If you layed the lower in it's side this could be the reason it weeped a little LU oil. I would keep and eye in your LU oil quality and level for a while just to be sure.

if it is gear oil, you have two options
pressure test to determine which seal is bad or rebuild. If seals are 10 years or more, definitely rebuild
