This is a 1975 70hp 3 cylinder merc motor that runs like a champ except for this minor water leak on the left side of the motor on the bottom side of the plate where the timing adjustments are. I notice that there is a gasket there with sealant, maybe its gone bad and needs to be resealed. Am I gonna need a new gasket set?<br /> I also notice a small amount of water blowing out of the exaust, is this normal? Water pump is pumpimg like new, and stays cool while running.

Just wondering if any mechanics out there can solve this one.
