496 mag antifreeze leak
Need some help please, Noticed antifreeze in bilge,
reilled antifreeze and noticed small amount of oil film
floating in bottle. ( cant see leak any where ) Took it
to a shop for repair , they said the pump was leaking.
They changed the pump , (why the oil in bottle ) took
the boat out ran it at 4000 rpm for a few min. and
checked it , the antifreeze is back in the bilge again
and the oil film is floating in bottle when i refilled it.
Will be back at shop monday. Any ideas ?

what would make it leak and where? maybe soft plug ?
I cant see where its comming from.
It seems to be in the area between the bottle and
the pump.

Got the boat fixed it was a rubber seal on a
heat exchanger hose.

excellant job on the repairs.
Thanks again Jim for the great job.
