[C320-list] Oil leak

[Bruce Heyman]

Hi Jerry,
I always keep some absorbing pads under the engine so you can sometimes tell
from the stains where the oil/fluid was coming from.   Many years ago I
"refreshed" the engine and I found some gaskets and rubber hoses that were
not fluid tight any more.   They allowed oil to run down the side of the
engine.  I'd look closely on the leeward side of the engine.
Hope you got the roller fuller sorted out too!
Best,
Bruce

I got caught in some high wind conditions recently and my roller furler
locked up causing me some heavy heeling. I also pushed the engine pretty
hard. The next day I had oil in the bilge and under the engine. 
Any ideas as to what I might have done and first approaches to
troubleshooting?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
