"Noticed some water in oil in
"Noticed some water in oil in my Mercuiser 3.0L. Changed oil and filter and ran boat to temp and noticed some very tiny bubbles coming from head area and oil started to get milky which I'm sure means water is getting in. I've been told head gasket or cracked block, is there a way to check for sure? Would cracked block be visible? Engine runs sound and oil and water temp are normal. Do the bubbles from head indicate a blown head gasket more so than a cracked block? How hard of a job is it to replace head gasket? I inherited the boat and my dad would winterize by draining engine and filling with a gallon of antifrezze, which seemed to work for him, is that enough? Sorry for all the questions but am quite concerned now as it looks like a bad start to boating season, and I have limited knowledge on subject. Thanks in advance for any advice!"
