Just got back from 3 day cruise over the holiday weekend. As SOP, checked oil, trans and coolant levels before leaving the dock. Starboard engine coolant level was low, which was a first. Topped off with about a quart to bring it back up to normal. Engine oil looks good, no milk or evidence under cap.
The exhaust/heat exchanger was pulled and cleaned approx 300 hrs ago and no issues. Water pump replaced 100 hrs ago.
There does appear to be some slight leakage at exhaust elbow, but looks more like raw water side, but am leaning towards pulling and inspecting this as possible culprit, but am wondering if you typically put the fresh water side under pressure and find leaks?
