engine leaking water

[nascarguynmber6]

I have a 1984 OMC 350 V-8. It is leaking water from both sides of what i guess is called the bellow. Its the rubber hose after the manifold elbow before it hits the exhaust part to go out. Its on the port side of the engine. I am going to try new clamps first i guess. The rubber hose part isn't cracked cause it leaks from between the metal and rubber parts. Thanks for all the help i have received from everyone on here! Happy boating!!!!!!

Might want to check your exhaust elbow for a crack.<br />Also try pulling the elbow off and see if its carboned up around the port where the water and exhaust mix.<br />Beef

check further down the exhaust for a blockage, there may be back pressure forcing the water back up ??
