You have water in the gearcase...itis leaking from either the shift shaft or water pump base.

It's probably unspent fuel leaking out. If so, it's very normal. The holes in the leg let water drain.

thats what i thought it might be becouse it smells like gas/oil mix with water and if i spray water through one hole it goes through the otherone and visa versa but why would unspent gas be in there?

Pull your lower unit oil plug and you'll know right away if there's water in there.
