Hello,
Very common to have oil drip from exhaust. In fact, I see such maybe 98
times out of a hundred. Absolutely normal. Sometimes I see quite a bit
of oil; sometimes hardly any.
Yes, you can get hydolock from over priming. I have a manifold drain
that I installed off of #4, #5 and #6. So, in cold weather in
particular, I prime the heck out of it, sometimes seeing fuel dripping
out of my manifold drain--in which case I know it is fully primed. As
long as you carefully pull the blades through after priming to check for
restriction you're Ok.

Me and my friend have been opertaing our Yak during wintertime now,
operating the engine below 5 degrees Celsius, even down to -5. STarting
the engine really hasn=B4t ben difficult, but have learned that you should
not without pre-heating. We have drained for oil every 3 days without a
flight, turning 20 blades before priming and another 10.
After the last flight at Saturday, we notice some oil dripping out of
the exhaust imediatly after shut down.(maybe a teaspoon full)
That we didn=B4t like much! How common is this? May this be a sign of a
minor hydraulic lock, with bent engine parts?
Since the cold weather, we also needed to prime some nicks while
starting, to get it to fire properly and run. Is there a chance of
overpriming causing damage?
Please advise, and from only those serius guys!
Thanx!
