Sea strainers leaking

Most of the time, there should be a ball valve between the pickup and the sea strainer. Else, what good is the SS if you can't stop and open it up to clean it?
Close them off, and open them up. Depending on which SS you have, you may have a cracked lid, or a bad seal/o-ring that might need replaced. Pics would help.

damn...looks like more than a 'drip' to me! And yeah..I guess I always thought one could close an up-stream valve and shut off the water so one could clean them as necessary, at sea. Guess I have been wrong all these years.
