225 Johnson water leak question

[Striper Blues]

Greetings all,

I have a set of 2005 225hp four stroke Johnsons (made by suzuki) on my boat and the port engine started leaking water from a small hole in the engine mount cover. This is Johnson pn 5035134. At first I though a plug fell out but the other engine has the same hole with no water coming out. The port side leaks water but its not under any pressure just kind of dribbles out.

Is anyone familiar with this ? I cant tell from the part catalog if its only separated from a water cavity by the mounting gasket or if the cover is no good. I didn't want to pull it off until I asked for input.

Thanks in advance.

Thought I'd bump this. Hasn't anyone seen a water leak from the back eng mount cover?

Its at the back of the motor where the engine joins engine mount.

I added this picture.

thanks again folks.
