I have an OMC Cobra V8 in my aging Whittley Cruisemaster and lately have been noticing an ever increasing amount of fine spray of (salt) water from down below the lower front engine drive shaft pulley.
Hoping it would go away doesn't seem to have worked and I am wondering if any of you guys can confirm my worst fears that this looks like an an engine removal and really major expense for slippage and repairs.
I wonder if I could remove the lower pulley, clean up around the seal and "bog" it up somehow? Yeh, that crazy plan shows just how desperate I am!
Or maybe just leave it and put a plastic bag over the distributor to stop it getting wet, I mean just one more hole can't hurt surely ............ 😳
