Hi A friend has asked me about a problem he's having with the engine on his Dufour. Its a volvo md2020 There is a white powdery/crystal like substance and a jelly like substance around the front end of his engine, covering quite a large area and seeingly to have come from some of the fresh water hoses, pumps etc (though potentially it could be from anywhere. he sent me a photo but its hard to tell exactly). He did drain and flush the sea water side with antifreeze before she was lifted for the winter but he didnt replace the old antifreeze in the freshwater side. He tells me it was last done 2 yrs ago but i suspect not!
Im guessing that this has gone past its best date and frozen? Do you think this might then have oozed out and formed these substances over the engine? If the fresh side has frozen, what are your thoughts as to prognosis?
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks, Andy.
