Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 1988 Johnson 6 HP 2 Stroke (j6rccs)
It runs & fires right up, however, it has brown stuff coming out into the water when running it.
I have attached pictures. You can see the brown material that is floating in the water, the red line that I drew which shows the water tube's path on the engine, as well as where the water tubing goes into the engine block. It looks like a mix of gas, oil, & water.


Has anyone had an engine similar to this where this was normal? Any ideas on what the issue might be?
My best guess was to replace the gaskets in the engine block anticipating there was a failed seal somewhere for gas & water
Many thanks for any expertise or insight!
Best,
Ben
