This seems to be my week for maintenance issues. I seem to have a small leak in one of the hoses to the oil cooler where it mates to the engine case fitting, which will require changing the hose and/or fitting on the engine. My questions for the engine folks out there are: 1) which port (top or bottom) on the back of the case is the oil outflow port; and 2) is the return line from the oil cooler pressurized or does it just run freely back into the case? I ask because it is the top hose that appears to be leaking, and if it is pressurized, I can understand why it might be leaking; however if it is not pressurized, then the "leaking" might be coming from elsewhere and just collecting on the hose at a low point (and thus the problem is elsewhere in the system and not the hose joint).
Thanks,
Greg
