There is a plastic tube in oil pan area immediately under the engine. (32hp Universal 5432)
Here is the best pic I could get. What is the function of this tube? Where does it come from and where does it go?
I have a mystery problem. I am collecting water in the oil pan area under the engine. After I pump the water out and wipe the pan dry, you can actually watch the water slowly seeping back in. This happens all the time. In water or on the hard. I had added the pink antifreeze to the water tanks and primed it through the tubing. There is green antifreeze in the engine water. The water collecting in the pan is crystal clear. (I am not salty or desperate enough to do the 'taste the bilge water' trick...)
The water seems to trickle in to a certain level and then stop. I mean that after a day or two I have an inch or so water in the pan. If I leave it and come back a week later, I have an inch or so in the pan. Drain it, and the next day I have an inch of water in the pan. Recent rainfall does not seem to have any effect. This is all pretty subjective, and I could be mistaken.
But the facts are:
1. Water is getting into the pan.
2. After draining, it will refill within 24 hrs.
3. If never seem to overflow the pan.
4. This has been going on for months.
5. I am clueless...
I have attached the pics.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
