replaced my WP and now when I run the engine I see drips of water where the gear case and the middle unit go together. Also there appears to be three holes in the rear of the gear case that push water out? My tell tale is strong, however, i only see water spray from one exhaust hole. Is all of this OK?

Re: Replaced Water Pump Johnson 90hp

Dripping water between lower and mid section is normal. There are vent/drain holes also in the LU that is normal to water come out of on the muffs. Until the motor is run on the water, you won't see much out of the upper exhaust holes cause most of the exhaust is going out of the prop without the backpressure of being submerged. Everything you said seems normal. Not a bad idea to touch the heads when she's at operating temp and see if you can hold it for a second or two without screaming (should be about 140° F)<br />Good Luck
