A friends Yak has developed a significant oil leak. The mechanic who looked at
it has suggested the leak is coming From the lower pushrods tubes. There is
also suspicion that the internal engine pressure is above normal since he does
not believe that the amount of oil seen leaking would only be from poor seals.
The recommendation is to remove the engine form the plane to redo the seals
on the pushrods tubes. The leaking only appears after the engine is warmed to
operating temps.
Any suggestions from the community on other things to look for and methods to redo
the pushrods tubes without removing the engine?
Does it seem reasonable that increased crankcase pressure might force oil out of
this area of the engine?
Thanks,
Craig
