Oil from raw water pump?

[Matt Lyman]

See pics. 

I’ve got a very small amount of oil coming from two spots on my raw water pump housing. Would this be shot, or an issue with the seals? Never had this before, so any input or advice is appreciated!

This is on a QSC 8.3 BTW. 

Thank you!

Thank you Tony!

Sorry, what is WWM?

QSC Seawater pump oil weep

You have two  mini  “weeps”..

 

Gasket between pump & engine timing case..   Simple fix — new gasket with Rectorseal #5

 

Oil seal on the pump– requires the pump go to the bench with a decent mechanical to fix.

 

Nothing is “shot” or is this mission disabling———-At this point, I’d just keep it all cleaned up  and WWM.

What was the engine put in service & total hours?

Tony
