I have twin 2005 Yanmar 6LYPA-STP 370HP diesel engines. We purchased this mostly fresh water boat last year from the original owner.
On the starboard side of the engine, at the aft end of the intercooler, there is a nipple with a 5/16” hose off of the nipple. The hose on both engines is about 18 “ long and has a small rag stuffed into the end of the hose. The stuffed rag is saturated with oil, but not dripping.
The nipple is not an add-on, it was casted in the after-cooler part itself.

Does anyone else have this set up? Is this normal?
