oil/lube in flushing water... sj90?

[khusson1]

Winterized the boat today. As had it running... flush kit installed... low pressure, i noticed cloudy water being discharged. Caught sum in my hand and it looked like some oil droplets in it. It was definitely cloudier while running and then cleared up some after i choked it out with fogging spray and the engine wasnt running.

I did notice i have one foam exhaust deflector missing but is the oil in the water a sign of a shot exhaust manifold gasket?

Khusson1, I beleive this condition is normal, I also had the same thing, remember the exhaust is mixing with the water so little residue is normal, i also get the same thing when running my other outboards in a test tank over a period of time, I am new to the sport jet scene so if i am wrong other input would be nice
