This issue relates to my O-360 engine on my RV-7A. The overflow line from my engine driven fuel pump has developed a noticeable and persistent dripping of oil after flights. After shutdown, a small drop from the overflow line will show up having an oily feel to it. After sitting about 20 minutes during a fuel stop, the drops on the ground will be very numerous and will not evaporate as if they are primarily avgas.
After sitting overnight, the oil puddle just aft of the nosewheel fairing on the ground is about 6" diameter. This has started after the past 5 flights, from 20 minutes to 2 hours of flying. Any ideas on diagnosing this?
It's really difficult to tell if the amount of oil lost adds noticeably to my oil consumption, but after several flights, there is a fair amount of oil on the belly.
Thanks,Mike
