Looking for a connector for a digital temperature gauge, in the engine room, I found this in the sump: It took me a second to assess the dangers in a possible oil leak this size, like; fire, surface corrosion, pollution and overheating of the actual engine. I called in some help for advice and it turned out to be a water leak, with oil stain. The water was dripping from a tube which connects to the water heater. This would be part of the cooling system of the engine, regulating the temperature of the engine also. If it was running with the water flooded into the sump, it would break down from overheating. Some pumping, tubing and wiping, over a hard 3 hours, had everything running the way it should.
