91 Rude 200hp, what is the function of the Control Valve #0394407, mine is leaking at different levels of throttle, curious as to the function of this valve as its connected to the linkage.

This is the second OMC motor i've had that this valve looks to be leaking, but only leaks at certain throttle positions, is this normal? I would'nt think any water leaks would be good into the motor,should I replace it?
