    Is this a problem?

    Hey guys, I am sure ya'll can help me out. On my Johnson 200 is there supposed to be a seal or something where the lower unit and the midsection meet? When I flush the motor, I get water from around there. I know someone with a 90 that does the same. Is this normal??? Thanks for any info. Trey
