I discovered a seawater leak in my Yanmar and believe it to be coming from the side housing on the heat exchanger. I thought it was a crack, or maybe corrosion/rust, but now that I have it off and looking at it cleaned up, it almost looks like it was patched in the past. However I suppose that could be a trick of my eye. It is leaking from around where it is circled in the pic below. I verified to be best of my ability that is is not coming from the joint of the two case piece but water actually slowly accumulates on on the outside of this house, not really near any bolts (near the right side of the red circle below).
I am trying to find a replacement, and maybe I'll get lucky, but don't have high hopes. Curious to hear ideas for other solutions, is this something that could be welded and fixed? Minimal experience with this sort of thing.
