I have noticed when I take my cowling off that I have a small amount of oil on the inside of the cowl that is basically right on the inside where the prop would be spinning...(hard to describe)..I have determined that is coming from the prop where it meets the flange of the engine. I spoke to the prop shop who did the reseal on it and he said that I probably buggered up the o ring inside the prop hub that slides over the engine flange (because I put it on dry) as the reason for this...so he sent me another o ring. I pulled the prop and put the new o ring on and this time used a little grease on the o ring before reinstalling the prop. Went flying tonight for .8 hr and pulled the cowl and dang it I still have a small amount of oil again...same area. Not sure what to do now, besides take it to the prop shop... any ideas?
