Evinrude ficht 150 HELP/ADVICE

Used for the first time since full service which included the removal of gear box and replacement of impellar.Even though the engine has only done 22 hrs and had it first service at 18 hrs .The full service had to done to keep up the warenty.Two weeks before i used it i noticed gear box oil had been leaking onto the grass where it is stored the drain scew was loose so took it back to the dealer who re did it(doesnt fill you with confidence)When iwas comeing back from being on the water for 4hrs asked my mate to check tell tale which seemed to be comeing out of the top exaust ports like two hose pipes half on.I have never noticed this before,I have onlt ever seen it come out of the centre hole looking as if it was being squirted through a bic pen(it now dribles) IS Their Anyone Who Knows What This could be so i dont get fobbed of when i phone them on monday. Thankyou

My Evinrude whilst not coming out of the holes, stopped coming out of the telltale, when i first got it. Basically in may case it was bit of crap blocking up the hole. A few runs followed by a good flush sorted it,,,e.g it had been stood a while from the previous owner
