My boat had a replacement 5.0 mounted in it several years ago after the 4.3 was removed. Under the engine mount I noticed a small hole, sometimes it leaks out this brownish stuff, not a ton, but its there. I can wipe it off.

Could this have been drilled when the 5.0 was put in for something to do with the engine mount?

I also noticed a smaller hole in the fiber glass in the same area, opposite side right at the bottom where the wall goes up to the engine mount that have leaked a similar stuff. It's very tiny.

Unfortunately I wiped off the stuff prior to taking the photo

It looks like the motor mount behind the oil filter is sinking into the stringer.
