mercury 90 hp spits water

[Michael 90 HP and 60HP]

I think I have an issue with something in the exhaust system


It spits out water near the oil drain on the side of the motor
Any one seen this before?
The peeing works fine
I think the motor is a bit loud also.
Thanks Michael

How about a serial number? They made 90s for many years, 2 & 4 stroke.

The water trail is minor from outside the plastic cowling. It is really only noticeable around the oil drain fitting area. It just splashes out once in a while because that is the opening into the back side of the cowling.
However when I pulled the plastic cowling back the water trail is quite noticeable. I am not well versed on these motors. To me the motor sounds a little bit loud and with the ear muffs on if I rev it up and back it down I get a rumblely back fire. Almost like it has straight pipes. My guess is something (a path that cooling water flows through) has become disconnected or something is broken. Is there "usual things" that happen to these motors with the cooling systems? Again, the peeing system works fine, warm water comes out the pee hole. Water also exits through the prop. Does it over heat? I do not think so. Thank you Michael

Thanks Michael

Yes, just purchased this boat. Have not put it in the water yet.
