Hi Guys
i am after some help
I noticed over the last few weeks an oily mist on the screen, stbd side after a
flight. now oil is smearing the lower cowl beneath the propeller. The oil is
also spraying on the propeller slip ring and clogging the carbon brushes and so
causing slow or intermittent changing of the Airmaster propeller. The total
oil loss is minimal its just inconvenient and messy.
Do you think the seals around the prop have failed and is this because a bearing
is failing also? Is it a straight forward job to repair and are special tools
required? I regreased the Airmaster propeller a few weeks ago and firstly
imagined
I had overgreased but now i am convinced its oil fro the shaft. I have
checked the breather in case it was blocked as that might have caused the
problem
Regards to all and anticipating some lively replies
Bill
