2019 210 FSH Sport exhaust seal ring

[Flyr54]

I have always heard about the after birth in yamahas and I saw some when I first bought the boat in 2019 but I pulled her out of the water after a weekend of fun today and found this coming out of the starboard exhaust port. My question is this still part of the after birthing process after 1 years and about 80 hrs or it is something i need to look into replace?
Side note I did notice the bilge turning on more than usual this weekend.

Totally normal afterbirth.

Bilge pump running is from some other source - investigate that - look in the FAQ for the Ultimate Leak Finder thread (or do a search for that).....post in reply to that if you find a leak we don't have covered.
