"Engine is running strong - ha
"Engine is running strong - had it out running today (18' Resorter). As I was returning to the dock I caught a wiff of an overheating smell - temp gauge was at 140. Opened the engine box and found water being slung up by the flywheel over everything. Shut the motor down and noticed that the bilge was full.
Now my question. What is in the flywheel bell housing that could produce such a massive leak? Is there a freeze plug back there? No water in the oil and, cept for the giant leak, engine was running great. Any insight would be appreciated."
