A friend has a Universal in his boat, and he had the same exhaust leak
problem. What he didn't realize was that the water also leaked backed
in to the cylinders, and froze up his engine. You might want to look at
that, apparently it's a common occurrence with a leaking exhaust elbow.

In dealing with my fuel pump replacement I discovered that the exhaust
system is in dire need of repair. Has anyone with this engine ever
tried to remove the flange that connects the exhaust pipe to the
exhaust manifold. My exhaust pipe has broken and is leaking black
exhaust gas and now copious amounts of water into the engine
compartment. It is attached to the manifold with 3 bolts (studs). The
upper 2 bolts are accessible and after a couple applications of
penetrating oil (50/50 ATF/acetone) I was able to get them loose. The
3rd bolt however is hidden and it seems I may have to remove the heat
exchanger to even get a 14 mm wrench on it. I am hoping someone may
have discovered a “secret” aside from turning the job over to someone
else. --
