Hi I need quick help for my 78 cherubini yanmar sb8. Sailing season is so short here in the north east! After my oil change I noticed that my new oil is grey on the dipstick. thought water was going in from the exhaust elbow but everything is dry in the head.any thoughts out there?I don't want to run it just in case It might damage the motor.

Call a local diesel expert

Grey means water in the oil. I'd find out who can come give me some advice. In our case, it was the head gasket.
