"Weather cleared some, went out in the fog and upon returning to the bay just took a peek into the engine hatches and on the top of the port intake manifold I had found about 1/2 cup of antifreeze. It does not seem to be from a hose or clamp . I re-torqued the intake manifold and those bolts were 1/2 spec. I am thinking I should pull the manifold and put in new intake gaskets. As for running, it had been perfect...so you can imagine the surprise on my face when I opened the hatch. Then as luck has it, the last 8-9 miles she ran hot, about 180.
I need to check the raw water impeller as it is now 2 seasons but I think the water volume is reduced in the heat exchanger as well as discharged exhaust water looked a bit light. Had left my temp gun in the house so... I have more "stuff" to check out BUT....
Does anyone believe this is a different issue regarding the leaking ? AL"
