I have just changed impellers in two- 1990 and 1993- force 50 engines. On BOTH of them the same exact forward, left bolts are now leaking -- they weren't before. Is this a common problem with all of the force 50 engines or is this a fluke? Has anyone else come across this problem?

Hi flipper: One inch behind the left forward L.U. bolt is a small drain hole which will dribble water and ooze unburnt oil/fuel mixture following engine use. If your engine is tilted up, this stuff will run forward and look like the bolt is leaking. This is normal. Check this out and you will probably find that the bolt isn't leaking. Good luck!
