[Public-List] Still leaks

[C.B. Currier]

Sounds like your main seal is leaking. These can go, the oil comes from 
just forward of the connection to the PropShaft. Makes a big mess and is 
unfortunately a headache to deal with.
Easiest remedy - order a new seal from Moyer. Get a wheel puller and pop 
the engine am put it in the main cabin. Pull the rear shaft coupling and 
the various and sundry parts to access the main seal, replace and put 
all back together. Replace engine on mounts.
I think it might take up to a week of regular effort to pull fix and put 
back.
Sorry to say this - it is a headache but the seal does go and that is 
where the oil comes from - nowhere else can the oil seep / slow leak 
like that.

IMHO- it is time to move from gas to Diesel - due to the damage of 
ethanol and the headaches of maintaining these old motors. I have 
eliminated all but one (the one in Infinity).
