I have never seen that big a hole in the side of any Gen II outdrive, ever.

Yea, they have "big holes" nowadys!lol
Prime cadidate for the shift shaft seal popping up. It's the same since the beginning but the plastic housing was "black" & it got warm, then the seal pops out.
Go get yourself a complete "shift shaft bushing assy"!

Should come as 1 piece. The hsg, seal & o-ring. It may even come with new screws. Anything short of going this route, don't get mad at anybody yourself.
This is the time change your water pump too, ya know!

Not sure if that's available "aftermarket". The pump kit is! Call a dealer. Nothing I point to will get it to you, "Tomorrow"!
