• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Over the last 3-4 flights I have noticed a new oil leak. I have no idea where it is from. The side of the plane has burnt or used oil and the firewall has clean fresh oil. This happens equally after straight and level flights or acro. The inside of the baffles are clean. You can see the inside of the cowl cover with no oil. First 2 pics are preflight. 3-4 are after a 45 flight. Oil is right at under 7. Engine is an IO360A1D. Inverted oil with vac pad.
