VerifiedHi my name isXXXXX will assist you.

This is perfectly normal as this is water that has already gone through the motor. Where the water is coming out of the exhaust dropping down in to the top of the lower unit then out the hub of the prop. That is just a seam where the 2 parts mate up. There is no reason for concern.
