Hello!
I just purchased my first boat, a 1991 Century 5500 CLX with a 454 bravo. I missed this when I looked at it prior, but it appears that the intake gasket is lifted and allowing a leak into the valve covers. The oil looks good and clean and I haven't pulled this valve cover yet, but when looking in the oil fill plug everything looks tip top. However, some water/moisture definitely seeped through to wherever this goes too. I attached some pictures, can anyone tell me what I'm seeing and if I should be worried? Thank you so much.
