Mine hasn't leaked yet - but have you torqued the keel bolts? My boat had a big smile when I got it last year. I hired a yard to redo things. They torqued up the bolts, re-faired with epoxy and filler (and we did a barrier coat), and so far so good (looking and feeling as closely as I can while diving). They did not drop the keel. But, the sump was in great shape, and the bolts took the torque with no problem. On my boat the rig had to come out to get all the bolts, but I wanted to do that anyway to get a thorough inspection.
