On my M40C, I have noticed a little bit of salt build up on the joint between the engine block and the lower unit. There doesn't appear to be any leak around the head gasket.

Is this something to worry about or is this normal/acceptable?

Thanks.

If that engine has not been well flushed with time will find around that area salt deposits along a mixture of E and 2 strokes oil crude leftovers, nothing to worry about, block probably needs a tight re torque.
