guys,
we were cruising across the bay today, and the port side engine sounded funny. as i looked at the gauges i saw that the rpm's were crashing. we shut down power, turned off the engine. when i opened the hatch there was smoke coming from all over the place, in particular out of the blowback tube. i noticed oil all over the bilge, and it looks like it got splattered all over the place. we limped home on one engine (thank goodness i read that post this week. ) i assumed that the engine was blown.
it was pretty dark when we got in, but i could see oil on mostly the pan seals. i just so happen to be taking it in for service tomorrow, but was wondering if you might have any ideas as to where i could look prior to doing that.
i'm running the yanmar 440 diesels. never heard any alarms, and never noticed the temp going up. could this be something simple like a gasket blowing out? anybody else seen this?
thanks,
todd
