Engine oil disappearing.
I have a major problem. My engine oil is disappearing and it is not going into my bilge. I have a Westerbeke W27, raw water cooled. I spoke to a mechanic in Fernandina and he said that I need to change the oil cooler. I went through all the manuals and couldn't find where it is. It has to be either the exhaust manifold or the heat exchanger but I can't find any oil input or return lines to either. Both are over $1000 so I want to know which one I should change, or is it something else. Yes, the zinc is shot.
