I took the boat out last night and putted around the river so I could get it up to temp and adjust the idle speed. While I was adjusting, I noticed some oil in the bilge. After looking around a bit I found the source. Right under the main crank pully. I suspect either the front main seal or the oil pan gasket. <br /><br />A friend suggested that this could be due to loose oil pan bolts. He also advised me to check the pcv. I pulled my flame arrestor to clean it and began investigating the pcv. I found that this engine seems to only have a breather elbow and tube going to the arrestor. Should I have a pcv?<br /><br />The leak dosen't seem to be all that bad. When I got home and checked the level, it was just below full. Maybe I can toss a bilge mat or bilge sock in there and keep a few qts with me?<br /><br />Many thanks!<br /><br />Tom
