Hello

I hope someone can advise me on this please

Engine 5.7 V8 pre 1995

I have water Coming out of the flywheel where the starter motor bolts to the flywheel.... water is pouring out the space around the starter motor when the engine is trying to start..........

I think a core plug or some kind water plug must be broken on the engine block??

Has anyone ever hear or seen this befor ??? Water leaking out the space around a starter motor

The stern drive has been removed from the boat......(This water is from the engine circulation pump) nothing to do with stern drive

Thank you for any help
