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! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:41:53 PM PST US Subject: Yak-List: More oil leakage From: "Adrian Coop Cooper" 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.
