I've just refurbed an O'day 39. Put a PSS drip-less shaft seal and tracked down a few thru hull leaks.
I'm getting picky here but the bilge is bone dry with the exception of a very small drip from what looks like is coming from the Vetus Waterlock muffler when the engine is running.
I tracked it down by placing paper under everything but could not spot the exact source. I go back this weekend and remove the mattresses from cabin on each side of the engine compartment so I can get at the access doors.
I hope to be able to spot the leak.

Any ideas as to where I should start looking? Access is limited. Typical easy access laying over the top of the engine could cause loss of important body parts.
