Turns out, the leak (or at least the one we found) was simply a fitting on
the oil cooler.... Nothing major.
We'll fly it a bit and see if there's anything else.
Thank you everyone for giving me great spots to look at! Looks squeaky
clean - for the moment!

Subject: | More oil leakage |
Hi all. My engineer and I have been tracking down an oil leak on my CJ's Housai
285hp. With the cowls removed and a good Varsol wash down/spray we ran the engine.
Sure enough we found the problem, the starter distributor was loose. Even
though the "lock tabs" were correctly in place, the three 7mm nuts had backed
off. Now any of you who have had this issue know that these nuts are a B***h
to get at and tighten.
After two hours of work and several specialty bendings of 7mm wrenches they are
now tight. (I need to go buy replacement wrenches tomorrow)The space behind the
air lines and banjo fittings is too small for a socket and its impossible to
even get a universal socket in there. Has any one been able to find Turbine
nuts that fit those studs?
The smaller size of the Turbine nuts should make this a manageable job and, of
course, they are self locking. I don't know if there is an equivalency of the
studs to a US SAE size, but that would be great. Any one have the answer to that?
Thanks Guys.
Coop.
