Volvo Penta 5.7 can anyone tell me where the water is coming from?

[Puzant101]

Water is spilling into the bilge. Also there is a slick out of the exhaust.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,..... I don't see any water, nor a stick in yer video,...

Can you get some more light in the bilge area and focus more on where the water is? I can't see anything either.

Are you saying this is soot coming out of the exhaust or oil? Where is it coming from?

Hard to tell, looks like a leaking exhaust hose. Video quality sucks.

Get a spot light and illuminate the area like its on broadway, and take more than 7 seconds of video, or better yet, illuminate the area and take a picture, thr mark up the picture showing where you see water coming from

I guess the answer for now is, no we can't

As the other said see if you can get a better video.

I put the pictures and two videos on a website, youtube seems to degrade a little. WWW.PRICON.COM/upload. The water seems to be coming from the hose attached to the elbow. Also two clams are broken as seen in the pictures. The oil in the engine looks clean, the hose definitely needs to be changed but I cannot figure out where the slick came from. After I ran the engine and discovered the water leak, I emptied the bilge and the water coming out of the bilge was clean.

I will try to get a better video, although its squirting saltwater all over the engines, so I am a little apprehensive to start the engine again.

From just the pics, I see a broken hose clamp., there should be 2 on that tube. I don't see the 2nd clamp in the pics. I'd bet you replace them the leak would go away. Can't tell ya on the oil slick.

 

[Puzant101]

Here is a zoomed version of the first video. Grub54891, you are right one of the clams was in the bilge, I did not take a video. The video also does not show that the hose is cut on the other side. What is that hose called, riser hose?

 

[Scott Danforth]

Exhaust hose

That is your water source

 

[Maclin]

It looks like the exhaust large hose is split logitudinally. Also I think I see the two clamps that should be at the back end of that hose that is leaking on down around the bend towards the bottom of the exhaust tube, like someone loosened them and parked them there to do some work with that hose.

Is this boat new to you? Did you have someone do some work on it lately, or at end of last season? Has it ever run correctly for you?

 

[Puzant101]

I've had it for 3 years. Everything was ok last time I was out in October. Since then I've been running the engines about twice a month. I did find the clamps, they look like they rotted and popped open.

If I change that hide in the top, so I need any kind of sealant or anything or just take out the old Jose and replace it and of course use new clamps.? Is there anything special I need to know about changing that Jose on the top?

Also I have no explanation for the oil slick. I guess I'll fix the hose and then check for the oil slick.

Thanks in advance
