Yanmar 1GM10 water leak from bottom of engine (see vid)

Hi,

The video here is probably the best way to describe this : https://photos.app.goo.gl/WyNBqkVpU6cRVs2w5

I've noticed water dripping off the bottom of the engine, once the engine seacock is opened.

Once the engine starts, is on and warmed up, the water drips then stop?

My old crew mate advised it was he who removed the thermostat and in doing so, destroyed the gasket. He has since replaced the gasket however, with a makeshift. The thermostat does not look like it's leaking however?

Any guidance greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is nothing in that area of the engine that has water in it so the leak must be higher up.

The cover for the anode is above that area. Might be worth checking that’s tight. It wouldn’t normally leak without the engine warmed up but if you don’t have the thermostat..
