My motor over heated after i had sucked some leaves and gunk up in the jet unit and they got lodged in the thermo. i replaced my water pump and cleaned out the thermo. it pumps water good but now i'm noticing a little water drip out around the head gasket and at idle a mist of water is coming out the exhaust relief grommet. my question is should i be concerned with this? thanks alot guys. learned my lesson the hard way about running my jet in dirty waters.

it is an e40reuc. if you know of any one i'm also looking for a used trim setup for it as mine only has trim assist and it's starting to fade on me! thanks for the help. i figured i would need to put a head gasket on it but was more cocerned about the water coming out the exhaust grommet in the lower engine cover.
