I recently made the first flight of my new RV-7 with a Lycoming IO360-A1A, Hartzell Scimitar CS prop, and MT prop governor. I had overhauled the engine myself with a certified crank. The prop had been overhauled by a prop shop, and the governor was new (purchased from Van's).
After exiting the cockpit I noticed oil had streamed down the front and inside cowling. There was also a small amount of oil in the back of prop blades. The crank seal on the front of the engine was dry. I pulled the prop and replaced the O-ring in the prop hub. I then made a second flight and had more leakage.
I am stumped. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
