I bought a new manifold for my engine (OMC 2.5) a while back and it's been installed along with everything else to make the engine go. The nut that's next-to-last as you're looking towards the stern has a space that is just impossible to fit a tool into to tighten the nut. I can see that there's a leak there as the engine is running. It's small now but I'm sure it will grown with time. Has anybody run into this issue before? Is there any kind of special tool that might fit in there?

Thank you.
