BF150 water leak spraying salt water on valve cover under cowling while running.

I am curious to know if anyone else has seen a similar circumstance where saltwater is being sprayed on the valve cove while running. It’s been happening for a long time but it took me a while to notice that it’s consistent. I’ve changed all of the exhaust hoses as well as the thermostats and gaskets that are located anywhere near the leak and still cannot locate the source. I’ve tried watching it while the motor is running at cruising speed and just over but still cannot see a leak. Looking at the images, does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance. I’m trying to figure out how to attach a photo…

Hi,

I have found that I need to resize photos to 40% to attach them here.

Good luck.

My thermostat housing was warped. They are only plastic. Readily available through babbits or boats.net.

Yes, I have to do that, thanks.
