I was checking my heat exchanger due to a reduced water flow (expected blockage but found the seawater side clear). So, noting that there were bolts on the OTHER end of the cylinder, I took them out. When I started to pull the end cap away, all of the anti-freeze I owned in the engine exited the exchanger. So, I reattached the end-cap (opposite the seawater side) and went back to the sea-water end and now noticed that I had anti-freeze coming from the sea-water tubes.
My question: how in the world can anti-freeze get to the seawater cooling tubes in the heat exchanger? Did I break a seal at the other end? Or is there a gasket? Hoping someone reading this has taken one apart and can help determine whether I need a mechanic to come and save me.
Thanks in advance,
Bud
