Two Tell Tail streams??

[Gulfcoast]

1995 Evinrude 115 hp crossflow<br /><br />Right between the lower unit (gear case) and the exhaust housing, on the front end of the motor, is a hole I guess is for vent purposes. When I run my motor on muffs I have water squirting out of that hole. I have never noticed that before. Is that normal and if not where could the water be coming from? Maybe a O ring in the pump? Got the boat in July and had a new water pump installed right after I picked it up. This is not the tell tale stream. This is at the bottom of the exhaust housing and squirts right back on the bottom of the boat.<br />Thanks for any thoughts.

This is from a wet exhaust housing, what you see is water leaking down from this sleeve. It is intended to make the engine run more silent. It is a water barrier between the inner, and outer exhaust sleeve, What you see is normal.
