After many years of good service my starboard AD41 failed yesterday. I was on the plane and smelt oil. The oil pressure had dropped to 30psi. No problem with temperature, no alarms went off. Boat speed did not suddenly fall off. Pulled into the anchorage at Osbourne Bay and raised the hatch. There was about 2 to 3 litres of oil in the bilge and it had been ejected through the crackcase breather filter. The oil level was v.high and the oil was a gloopy grey. Came home on other engine.
Now I have to find the cause. Presumably head gasket, turbo or oil cooler failure? Any one experienced this?
