[C320-list] Oil leak

[Jim Sweet]

I have the same issue so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Really 
difficult to "see" where the leak is.

Subject: [C320-list] Oil leak


I have an oil leak in the rear of my Yanmar 3GM30F. From what I can tell, 
it's in the area of the pan or where the flywheel housing attaches to the 
block. There are 4 or 5 droplet-size oil marks on the absorbant cloth I keep 
under the engine and I can feel some oil there. Any suggestions as to 
positively identifying the leak location and for steps to take next? Should 
I bring in a mechanic?

Thanks,
