I noticed last season I started to need to add oil, almost 2 quarts over the season.
Never had an issue before. 2018 was my 3rd season, and I ended with 89 hours on the Volvo Penta D4.
I took the boat to Boston for the 4th fireworks and concert (awesome) and back to Hingham. About 3 hours on the engine total. I had put the oil absorbent cloths under each side of the engine from aft, and as far forward as I could, before I left. I took pictures of the oil absorbent cloths when we got back.
It looks like the oil is coming more from the port side, but I can't be sure do to the fact that the cloth was probably not in the exact same spot on each side. Other than the seal on the oil pan leaking, where could it be coming from?
The pictures are in my album.
