Hi,
Wonder what people’s thoughts are on this?.
Yanmar 3YM 30hp, normally very reliable, difficult to start and when it did clouds of white smoke that wouldn’t clear and sounded like a bag of spanners.
It would only run briefly.
Checked the oil dipstick showing double the amount of engine oil that it had?. Wondered if either water or fuel had found its way into the sump?, and if so why.
Thinking I need to check if the oil on the dipstick smells of diesel and check to see if I have any coolant (if it’s all in the sump). Any other suggestions or advice gratefully received. Cheers
