I have a 82 Ski Supreme that I had endless problems with last year. I did not properly drain exhaust manifolds before the first freeze. I ended up with I tiny pinhole on the underside of each exhaust manifold pretty much right in the middle. I started this year right bought a brand new carburator a Mallory distributor and it was running great. First time in years. However I noticed that there was oil coming out of the dipstick. It was not above the fill mark. The oil was a little milky. I have a friend that is a marine mechanic and he thought that I could have an internal crack in the exhaust manifold. I went to buy exhaust manifold gaskets and the guy at the parts store said he thought it would be a bad head gasket or cracked head. I am concerned that it could also be a cracked block or a combination of any of the above. I don't know where to start. It is only the middle of may and I have already sunk over 1200 into this boat. How do I identify what the real problem is? I also heard pcv valve. I know just enough to be dangerous and or replace parts. Please help.
