2 people have given this motor away, so you need to take things apart to try and see where that water is coming form.
maybe bad tube or grommet it sticks into, or a hole in some other part of motor
does the red wire to the key switch have 12 +?
when turning the key to the on position it should put 12+ on the yellow wire.
Should be some fuses on the motor
some motors might have a spring-loaded ball on shifter or other place/linkage that helps locate and hold linkage in certain place
Not sure what this was supose to mean
