can you circle where the two streams are coming from in the pictures? Also, in general there should only be one "stream", at least to my knowledge.

Thanks according to a marine mechanic I guess he said the pervious owner must have made that other one for better visibility of the cooling water coming out

Some of these may have had a water cooled fuel pump.----Perhaps that was disconnected / bypassed ?
