If it's the stainless one, I'd try to find a way to weld it. If it's one of the aluminum ones, then I don't know.
Relax. Unless there is an obvious leak somewhere, spraying obvious water around, I would say it is nothing more than condensation. The intake manifold area of an engine gets cold for the same reason that an air conditioner gets cold. In warm humid air that cold metal sweats for the same reason that a glass of ice tea sweats. Old car carburetors would actually freeze ice under certain conditions. Icing on old airplane carburetors was a major concern. Anybody around here remember that far back? Dang, I'm getting old.
But all this has nothing to do with water in the cylinder. That is a different topic.
And the goop running out the drain hole in the lower unit is normal. There should be dozens of threads here on that subject, if you care to do a search.
Ok did a compression test you all ready to be puzzled cause i am. Remember that the bottom cyclinder is the one taking on water and the top is the one firing. ok top cyclinder "good one" 65 and bottom one with water intake 116 whats the deal with that i thought it was going to be the other way around. I did both of them the same choke off and other spark plug out. Can this motor be saved or should i try and get another block for it?
If you have 65 psi in a cylinder its time for a rebuild or at least re-ring, anything under 100 is not so good. Also if there off more than 10% your going to have a tough time getting it to run right. IMO
