Re: Volvo D6 Diesel Leak
two tips: 1) use kitchen towel (paper) and put it under the engine. It will show where the drops land. Look from there and you'll find the source. Then use the force and all will be well.
2) use a diaper on that spot if you can't get it fixed in time. One of my engines drips a tiny bit from a gasket that I should have replaced. Not enough to go through the hassle of replacing but pretty fouling to the bilge water.

Re: Volvo D6 Diesel Leak
8 years!?
The impellers in the D6 are really well designed and seem to last forever. When I purchased the boat it had 1000hrs on the engines and was 9 years old. Original impellers were in there and they looked as good as the new ones I put in. Will snap a shot of the ones I remove this weekend. Have not looked at the engine hours for quite some time but another 9 years have past and I put maybe 450 hrs on the engines since then.
