7.4 330 oil leak under power?
Like the title says im puling my hair our...i have a twin engine formula with an oil leak i cant find...what are the spots to check.? Its a twin engine formula and the motors are tough to work on...it doesnt lose any oil after it sits forma week, then i drive it for a hard half hour and there is oil in the bilgr...its not alot but enough to be concerned... Anyone have a list of spots to kcheck that are common...engine is a 1989. 7.4 330. Motors are squeezed into a 272

Engine oil or drive oil? Thought I had an engine oil leak on an old boat, turned out there was a leak in the bottom of drive oil reservoir. Only leaked after a long run.
