Both engines (only 150 hours) sudden oil leaks from crankshaft o-rings???

and your oil pressures look great.
Have you checked the dipsticks for oil level. It may be overfilled. If so pump some out until iteh level is halfway between full and low. Then try again

I actually changed the oil myself on both engines a few days ago after the suggestion of one of the members of ybw. And now the levels of cold oil is half between min and max and it climbs to max when hot. I remember before the change it was full on cold.

That is very comforting, thank you for confirming this. I have no urge to contact the local Volvo penta, that is why I am on this forum asking silly questions. Thank you so much to the members.

Has any one split any oil on the starboard engine? Is that still leaking ?

The starboard had much smaller leak before than the port and now it is only one drop hanging after 1 hour of running today. I wiped it off and it doesn't bother me much. Well actually the port had something like 20 drops before,,, and after the oil change, it probably had 5-7 drops right after the cold start. Not a big deal but it is scary to me as I though I had a new boat.

Split oil is golden brown / honey coloured .Oil from inside is black .

You can differentiate easily .

Split oil entered into the equation @ post 38 this might be masking a real leak further down ?

If black oils dripping out of those weep holes , from the initial history ,full+ extended rpm with clap cold oil + overfil on the dip stick and both engines simultaneously develop a leak then we are not out of the woods yet .

The correct oil level ( and oil for that matter ) and sympathetic warming up may well have eased them .

It obviously would be great to park this in the CAC handed tech spilling oil all over the show and with a bow high tilted when running boat it runs all over the place …….but it’s all in the colour !
