The following was posted on Airsoob a couple of days ago.  I wanted to repost it
here for all our interest since many of us are running the EA81.  I haven't
heard of this happening before - has anybody else?

What do you think of the fix?

Last week I had the oil seal, on the water pump end of the engine, 
of my EA81 slip inside of the engine.  It took about 3 or 4 minutes 
to lose all the oil.  Luckily I was on floats and was able to make 
it back on the water just as the oil pressure dropped to zero.  This 
seal is a press fit in the crankcase, there is     no lip on the 
inside of the case to keep this from happening.  I know of one other 
EA 81 that had this same thing happen.  Anyone else had this 
problem?  Is there a fix?  I installed the new seal with Permatex 
high strength sleeve retainer.  Any ideas or help would be 
appreciated.
