I just replaced the impeller on my '78 Merc 700 and the water jacket cover seems to be leaking around all three spark plugs. It never did this before the new impeller but I noticed quite a bit more water pressure from the pee hole now. After reading about 20 or so posts about this common problem, I have come to the conclusion that I would like to either a) put some marine quality high temp silicone around the cover or b) just leave it alone. It doesn't appear to affect anything and the motor runs just fine, just a drip here and there from the cowling cover. Any advice would be appreciated.
