I have been noticing high oil pressure (up to 135 PSI) just after take off or shortly there after. The oil is always warmed up to 100F+. It lasts at most 1-2 seconds then goes back to normal of 80 or so until the oil is 190F then it goes to 72ish. Also, there have been a few drops of oil on the hanger floor after I come back from flying, whic h looks like the "normal" front seal weep.
Aerosport IO-540 with about 300 hours. Runs perfectly normal other than a high OP reading once in a while. I have pulled the oil pressure housing, spring & ball and all looked normal.
Anything to be concerned about?
Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated.
