I've been putting some time on the Acroduster (open cockpit + 90 degrees = fun!), and just noticed a new oil leak. Very small, about a tablespoon in the belly after a flight), but traced it to the vent hole on the bottom of the right mag (Bendix 20 series). Any thoughts or previous encounters like this? I have a spare set of Slicks I can put in, but was wondering if I could keep flying for another few weeks with it. Also wondering if I have a case ventilation issue that may have caused the mag seal to surrender a bit? I think il going to put a hose on the breather and open the oil fill on the engine to see if I can blow air thru without restriction as a quick check to see if anything is plugged there. If the case venting is plugged I'd assume the forward seal would yield before a mag would leak?
