Ok i bought the boat with 5.7 mercruiser 1990 350 cdi . It has water
oil mix on the oil stik and it is not starting where shuld I start
looking. I did notice small water driping on the sides of manifolds

My brother had the same thing happen - it was head gaskets, but he
changed the heads and gaskets at the same time.

If it overheated the heads warp on a Chevy. But since manifolds are
dripping, I would check for a hole in the exhaust manifolds.
