Alpha one gen one?

Looking at a boat in near perfect condition with a 350 mercruiser but I noticed something while the engine was running...
Has anyone ever seen water coming out of square cap on top of outdrive where the notch is??? Also, on the side there is a small hole and water seems to pump out of there steadily as well. The owner says it's always done that... It shifts perfect, no water in the gear oil... Any ideas?? Let me know... Going for sea trial at the end of the week.

its normal if the exhaust exits the prop..
