Ok guys I need some help on this one. I keep a dry bilge and recently have noticed small amounts of water (8-10oz probably) down there after running for 1-2 hours. I climbed under today while the motor was running and noticed very slow drips from the bottom of the hose that connects the power steering cooler to fuel cooler. The issue is I can't see where its coming from, that side of the bilge is crazy tight and the genny is in the way. Its hard to tell if it is the hose or something above, but I can't imagine what else would be leaking. I put my hand around the block and don't feel any water and have taken pics under the exhaust manifold of the freeze plugs and don;t see anything
The motors are 5.7 EFI Alphas. The pic below is the hose in question. I'm thinking when the boat is out of the water I'll pull the exhaust manifold (they're 3 years old and should probably be inspected) and just replace the hose for $30
What else should I look for? It doesn't leak while sitting, could there really be a hole in that hose?
