On the front of my exhaust housing is a hole maybe a half inch when the motor is running in a barrel it gushes water out it is a factory hole but never seen this before the water comes out just above the clamp looking part that holds the motor to the spindle Is this normal and I just haven’t seen it before? Sometimes it gushes out and others it’s only spraying somewhat. Is it a bypass for when the thermostat is closed?
 
As far as I know, they don't install pressure relief valves on smaller motors??
Find a parts diagram and see if you can find one? (I did and didn't find it)
Always include the model#, Serial#
The water could be normal, some models have a pee tube,does the pee tube work or has the stream slowed?

The pump pushes enough water to cool a diesel, I wouldn't worry.
