I have a 96 mercruiser 3.0 with a alpha one drive
I went out to my boat this morning to run in the the driveway before heading to the lake for the day... Put the muffs on the turned the water on and started the boat with not issues... Once I opened the engine cove I noticed water leaking from behind the exhaust manifold. It's a very small leak and it runs down the side of the motor and into the bilge. I'm on the lake now Running the boat and the engine has no performance issues still runs like a top... No water in the oil either. I can't tell if the leak is on the manifold or the side of the block... An I making the issue worse by running it today or not?
Thank you for any advice
