[OMC-Boats] Oil and Water

Water can get into the oil any number of ways. Look at the head gasket for
an area of "steam cleaning" or check for changes in the spark plug
appearance (rust or no carbon). Reassemble and pray that it is fixed and
won't happen again. I had a leak in the intake manifold gasket to head
several years ago. Those exposed edges of the intake manifold gasket can
deteriorate over the decades. The leak was small and I just cleaned the
heads and pistons and drained all the oil and started fresh and it was OK.
You really have to try hard to kill those old engines. Neglect is the main
enemy. TK
