Hi all,
Had to cancel my flight today because of a leak I found on my Christen 844 wobble pump. Realized drops of fuel getting out of the pump during my run-up at a rate of about 1 drop every 2 seconds. Taxied back to the hangar and saw that fuel was leaking from under the top cover plate (see red arrow on picture). When switching on the valve and giving 2-3 shots, fuel started dripping out 5 seconds later. Anybody had a similar leak? I'm still setting up at the hangar so I didn't have the tools to investigate much, but if you have an idea of the reason of such a leak, please let me know!
Thanks in advance for your help,
-Dimitri
