Water leak from lower unit or normal?

I have a 97 evinrude 115. E115eleua. Noticed water seeping from both sides of the lower unit when running it on muffs or test tank. Haven't hit anything. All I've done around there is drill out the stone-looking anode above the cav plate. Should water come out like this or do I have a problem? https://instagram.com/p/BFFCKncIdjv/

Totally normal and nothing to even think about. Water coming out there has already gone through the powerhead and done it's job, and is on its way back to the sea anyway.

Thanks! Glad that it's normal. Just a young adult learning the ropes of outboards and repairs. I just never noticed this until today.
