Our Gulfstar 50 has a 1978 Perkins 4-236, and leaks a LOT of oil. So much that we have a fire-resistant tarp hanging under the motor.
Recently I noticed a hole in the bottom of the bell housing, possibly because a bolt is missing? See the photo here; http://picasaweb.google.com/sejduh/UntitledAlbum/photo#5172165412331577570 That photo is taken from aft, below the motor, below the transmission, looking forward. This is a recent discovery, so we have not had a chance to monitor this hole while the engine runs. Is there a bolt missing? Is oil supposed to drain from that hole? Should that hole be left unplugged or plugged? Any comments on how to proceed if there is oil dripping from that hole? Thanks, -Neal. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
