There could be a leaking block drain or hose. or exhaust hose or muffler.   There is a rubber caps next to electrical on engine.
Port side has hose going to oil filter.

I found out where the mystery water was coming from -- She Sea Strainer under pressure. I didn't feel any more hot water from bilge, and after a much more tightened sea strainer, no more water seaping out so far.

Will do some other checks to be sure. We are working on our maintenance today.

From the water intake to the pump is all suction. It can leak into bilge but normally from Cooler on bottom of engine. but same temo as sea water.

Interesting. How would you access cooler on bottom of engine?

follow the hose from the sea strainer it is 9 inch hose. Then connects to the transmission cooler. Place paper towels wrapped with tin foil under it and at the hose in and out if it is wet after the test run then the cooler needs replacing from age or bad winterization.

We should make a sticky on common water leaks. I have had them all at one point or another!
