I bought a new to me boat this year. 1991 Carver Montego 530. Has been running good. I was doing routine maintenance and afterwards started both motors to warm them up. After a few minutes I accidently bumped into the port side heat exchanger and it was HOT. The starboard side was just slightly warm. After looking a little closer I also noticed coolant was leaking from the cap. The port side temp gage has been running consistently warmer as well but never close to over heating. The exhaust manifolds on both engines were warm to the touch equally but not hot. My question is.....would just a bad cap cause the exchanger to get hot or is something else happening and just hasn't failed yet? Should I just replace both water pumps and the thermostat and cap.....OR?? Thanks in advance for any help!
