Looks like water was in with the oil.
What motor is it? First impression is the seal is on the wrong shaft.
2003 75 2 stroke. That seal was on top of pump housing 4yr. ago. Its the face seal. Don't know what made it slide up?

Sorry Mercury
Water is coming out of the housing and pushed the seal up?
Do you run it on the water hose muffs when the engine is not running? The water hose pressure probably pressurized the water pump housing blowing the seal out. Sure that was the right seal?
And where is your exhaust seal? did it stay up on the motor? That what all the strange colors are...soot mixed with all the water gushing from your pump housing.
You bring up a good point. Most people turn the water up way too high. Just open it up a little so the pump pumps the water and its not forced thru from high pressure.Quote:
