Yes most likely exhaust which is air. It comes out the water intake to pump. I believe a gasket might have blown out. Just looking if sometime else. Water coming out also below motor between motor housing and lower end.
New to me engine. Ran twice before I got it home. Was running after starter fix and I thought I heard a slight pop sound. I also notice water up high near where middle housing meets motor. Did not see first time I ran it. Could it be exhaust pushing into the water and exhaust plate.
I have a 1977 9.9 Johnson. Third time started I notice air coming out of the water intake. Also water was coming out somewhere around the top end. I did not notice before. I did think I heard small pop from engine before I noticed issue. Tell tail was working. Thanks
