Can you see or feel any fluid in your bilge when you pull the plug? That would tell you if its going in the exhaust or leaking into the bilge.

I believe it is in the bilge, but no idea about the exhaust. Only reason why I said the bigle is because there is an oily film throughout the bilge all the way up into the ski locker. Also, there is some floating gunk, which is also a tbd item.

With 3 bottles added I would have to think I should be able to see or feel something around the hoses and engine area to give an indicator of where this crap was coming from.

Update…

Well just called a local VP dealer/service, per FW, and it turns out that my dealer never registered the VP for warranty. So I do not know if I had the extended plan or the normal plan. I now have to dig through all of my documentation and see if there is anything that states I received the extended warranty.

No wonder why the dealership is out of business. :evil:

Put your hand on the bottom of the actuator on the right side below where the hoses connect. I had a leak not quite as bad as yours but it was the actuator. The leak was hard to find and seamed to be intermittent. The repair was under warranty.

With my 3 + 5 coverage I got a warranty card very much like a automobile insurance card, and a welcome letter.
