took my jetski out of storage to get it running for the season. started right up and ran with no engine related problems. However I did notice that cooling/fresh water is leaking from around the base of the front fuel injector (where its inserted into the head/cylinder. Looking at it with a mirror it appears as the injector o-ring is pushed out in two spots allowing the leak. if thats all that no big deal. But i have to ask. Why is there water at the bottom of the injector? is there a colling passage thats sealed by the injector o-ring? Am I looking at a cracked block or head? I've watched it while running and thats where the waters coming from. The machine still runs/idles great. Any thoughts or input would begreatly appreciated. Freshly rebuilt motor last season with @ 40 hrs on it. 2001 Seadoo GTX RFI. I'm stumped

I'm not the greatest person on the RFI engines... but from what I know... and checking over the manual... the O-ring on the injector should only be sealing a fuel passage. If the O-ring has pushed out... that's not good... but, it shouldn't be leaking water.

IF... it's water, then I would say that the cyl is cracked by the fuel injector. Pull the fuel rail, and injectors... and check for a crack.

If they were stored over winter... in the cold... the water in the cyl's could have froze, and cracked them.
