I have an RV6A that I have been flying for 2 years. It has a persistant slow oil leak that only shows up after at least a half hour of flight at high RPM. In other words enough time to spread the oil dye all over the engine. It will lose about 1 qt every 5 hours. It doesn't affect the performance but I am really tired of wiping off the belly. The leak is only on the right side of the engine and is mostly on the top front and rear baffles. It collects on top of carb heat box. Also I have oil coming out on the right side of the aircraft where the upper and lower cowl are joined,
Engine Lycoming O360-A3A carburated
This is where it isn't.
1, crank seal replaced and is dry.
2. oil sump gasket replaced
3. oil filler tube gasket replaced
4. no oil coming from breather tube.
5. cylinder cover gaskets all replaced
If anyone else has experienced this and has a possible anser then I would love to hear from you.
Merry Christmas;
John Morgan
