Bubblehead Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks for the info on the oversized stud. I did not go that route. I think putting an oversized stud in aluminum risks cracking the aluminum accessory case. I now have over 6 hours of flight time since installing the stud with Locktite 271 and there is not a hint of oil on the belly of the plane. I hereby declare success on solving the oil leak. My thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and information. I have learned a lot from this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblehead Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) My how time flies. I came across my link to this forum and thread and thought I'd post "the rest of the story." This oil leak problem occurred in 2016 and never re-appeared, so with the help of the posters we solved the problem. In fact, I flew this plane about 100 hours a year until early 2020 when I sold it. In 2019 I took the plane from Texas to Alaska and back on a month long vacation. The problem never appeared again. My thanks again to all who helped me troubleshoot it, come up with correction options and gave moral support.
