Hello

Hope someone can help.
Ran up engine today with muffs as usual but after a few minutes running I got the overheat alarm sounding.
Had plenty of water from the telltale. I allowed it to cool down and checked the thermostat incase it was stuck shut, but was operating correctly. I wasn't getting water up into thermostat housing.
I noticed water coming from the back of the lower unit at the rear. I've attached a short video of it.
Has my water pump failed? Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks David

time to drop lower unit, open it up and check the pump and water tube to see if something is noticeably wrong
