    Challenger X and mysterious oil leak: any ideas?

    We dock in a dry dock on the 5th level, as our boat is white and yellow, and we don't want other's dirt getting on our boat. In august 2017, we were told after our boat was stowed: it spilled "allot of used oil" on someone else's boat and we have been banned to dock down at the first level...
