A couple of days ago I noticed a new rust-colored spot on the diaper under my port main engine (Cat 3116). Traced it to the raw water pump which had a couple of rusty streaks from the slots in the pump housing. No water drips with engine off, nor at idle speed. Today I checked it while underway at cruise speed and it drips once every 6-8 seconds. Looking for input as to how big a problem this is and how urgently it needs to be fixed. I’m cruising away from home and it would be a lot easier to take care of in a couple of weeks if it’s not unreasonable to wait that long.
Thanks.
