20hp 4cycle cooling queston

I first posted this to the Mercury forum but being built by Tohatsu, I thought maybe this would be more appropriate.

I have a new-to-me 2009 Merc 20hp 4cycle model MLF20ML with about 20 hours on it. On my first start, with the unit in a barrel and idling I had good water flow from the pee tube, which I expected; but also about the same flow from a small hole just below the front LH lower unit mounting bolt. In addition, water overflowed from the top of the drive shaft housing. My question is: are these last two symptoms normal?

Thanks,

Yes. Normal.

Thanks Paul, for this and all your other helpful posts I have bennifited from.
