This past Sunday, the engine was running hot and eventually the temp alarm atarted sounding. I shut her down and waited to open the engine hatch.
I noticed a little bit of water seeping out from under the forward engine compartment hatch, and when I looked, I could not identify where it came from.
I troubleshooted from the raw water inlet to the water pump - all is fine. Should my next step be to look at the mixing elbow? I've read that deposits can build up, leading to less flow and ultimatley overheating.
I'm worried because thw elbow is covered in heavy duty Al foil, presumably because the previous owner found or assumed a leak...I'm scared as to what I might find!
Any thoughts/tips/ideas?
Thanks!
