My K model has hardly used any oil at all SMOH 3 years ago. But she has always peed a squirt on the nose tire. I changed that oil and found the Saf-Air spring loaded Red quick drain oil plug leaking slightly. So I ordered a Saf-Air S-6250K rebuild kit form Spruce. Figuring it would take them a while to dig one up, we recowled for a trip upcoming. I do not have the exact model, but they appear to all be the same desigh. The kit arrived today and it looks like it was packaged around the time I gratuated high school. When I did have the "plug" in my hand, I was having trouble figuring out how we would get it apart even if we did have a kit at that time. Now it is back in the plane. 2 questions: Would it be your opinion to pitch the kit due to age? I understanding that the ""red" ones like mine only have one o-ring" (Santos a few years ago as I recal). That would mean that the bottom-easy to replace- o-ring is the only one to replace. I have a hard time believeing that there is not another one, or top one. he package I have has a spring, 3 o-rings, a new drain gasket, as shown below. Last is best question: We have searched all over the net and can NOT find any .pdf or instructions for that quick drain. Anybody help on that? Thanks img20220309_10524568.pdf
