Water leak????

[DChamp]

Was fishing the other day and noticed my water pressure was down to 15 psi (was around 25 psi) at 5000 rpm. looked back at the motor and noticed water was coming out of the bottom of the lower motor cowling (passenger side). Have not put it in a barrel yet. Any ideas?

2000 225 V-max, with newer low water pick-up model (HPDI). Water pump is new this year.

Gasket at the bottom of the power head. This has happed on my 225 efi twice. Power head removal requiered

That's about the fifth one I've heard about in two years.
