I have been chasing a leak for in the engine for some time now and I think that I found it.
Antifreeze coolant seems to be leaking from the coolant pressure cap on top of the engine It is not antifreeze from the engine but from the recovery tank at/in the coolant pressure cap. When I look at the cap it looks in good condition.
Someone just mentioned that they thought that the recovery tank is mounted too high! They suggested that a correct install has the recovery tank lower than the coolant pressure cap.
The engine is a Yanmar 4jh4-te
Has anyone had a similar experience. How are recovery tanks installed on similar engines? The boat came like this new from Hunter. Here is a picture.
