Had my motor running on ears in driveway.Curious if the water coming out above lower unit is normal or would it be the water tube is damaged. Video won’t load from phone but basically where the cap that bolts on both sides above lower unit, there is water coming out from there. I put new pump in as it needed one. I replaced the lower unit seals as well. Had a time getting shift linkage height correct, and hoping I didn’t mess up water tube in process. Water is good stream out the p er. Thanks for any input.

That's normal the lower motor mounts are water cooled.
