Hi Everyone, Upon opening the boat up after the winter, I notice a lot of oil pooled on the floor by the toilet. My yard replaced the engine oil during the winterization process. I traced the oil leak back to a hole in the water pinion housing (the housing that the water pump mounts on. When you are facing the housing there is a hole in it and the engine oil seems to be leaking out from that hole. Here is a pic of the hole:  |

ANd here is a diagram of the housing from the Bukh Manual (#37 on diagram). I am wondering if there is supposed to be a plug in this hole? Or maybe I have the wrong source of the oil leak. I am thinking that during winterization the mechanic forgot to do something...but I am not sure what.  |
