Coolant/Exhaust Exit?

I have a 2005 DP-SM 1.95 out drive. The boat is fairly new to me and I recently noticed while flushing the motor with a hose hookup that the coolant water/exhaust is exiting from two locations. I found this odd cause the SX drive only exits from the prop. On the DP-SM it is exiting from the expected exit above the prop but also from the point where the anode mounts to the gimbal housing, which is at the base of the gimbal housing and against the transom.
Is this normal or do I have a problem? 80% of the water/exhaust is dropping from the anode area.

The rubber exhaust bellows has small slits in it to drain the exhaust system when the boat is out of the water. The water is exiting through those, and completely expected.

Ok, appreciate it. Was looking for some reassurance and I got it.
Thanks
