Sounds more probable than Rich's theory.....might putting paper towel around the area that might indicate if there is a leak. And it only happens during the winter so the cold is obviously causing the leakage....just exactly where.

Maybe the pump shaft seal leaks a bit when it is super cold?

Subject: Stus-List Antifreeze Mystery


After the engine is winterized in the Fall, I place a plastic pan under it.....not sure why but I do. Every Spring, there is approximately a half a cup or 250 ml of antifreeze in the pan.

I have looked everywhere for the source of this antifreeze but I can't find out where it is coming from. The boat was launched 3 weeks ago, the engine has about 3 hours on it since then, the pan is still under the engine but there is no antifreeze in it. And the antifreeze does not appear during the sailing season.

I notice every Spring the level of the antifreeze in the 'overflow container' is down a bit and I refill to the 'FULL LEVEL' but that container is not leaking. It's a mystery!

Anybody experience this and/or have any ideas where this antifreeze could be originating from?
