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?
