"I will try to get a picture of where the exhaust is leaking out , the odd thing is ... it appears to be a machined hole with just a couple of threads at base . when i removed the valve cover to make sure it wasnt a stuck lifter ( when i first heard it),I could see a machined channel inside the head that leads up and out to this hole where the exhuast is venting... this hole is at the top rear of the head,. I do not know the history of this boat at all.. we bought it in april, but the engine is clean no slugde any where. oil is clean. even before i changed the oil pump. the oil still looks good"
