I recently got my motor running, i noticed that water comes out of these two holes kind of where the lower unit and powerhead meet, but not out of the pee-hole

The motor is a 1980 115 johnson v4

any help would be appreciated,

THe "telltales" frequently get clogged with debris.

Detach the hose at each end (block and lower engine pan) and blow through it. Also run a straightened out paper clip through the fitting at the lower pan.

The pee hose is clogged. Take the cowel cover off and remove the hose off the plastic holder on bottom scroud cover and snake a thin wire thru to clear it. It doesnt take much to clog it up. Good Luck!
