I don't really see how even all three factors in combination would
account for the discrepancy. 40 burned from the left, 60 from the
right. Just doesn't make sense.

Just a quick follow up. Your hunches were correct, I did have a fuel
leak so to speak in the right tank. About a week later, I took the
plane on a short X/C to deliever a passenger to another town about 30
mins away. About half way there, he spoke up and said, what is that
blue stuff coming out of the wing. I looked over at the right wing
and saw a stream of fuel coming out of the inspection cover on the
right tank. Once we landed, I took a screwdriver and was able to get
almost 1/4 turn on every screw. On the flight back it did not leak.

I did not see this after my leather sucking flight that night. The
only thing that I can think had happened was the moisture that I was
flying in had washed it away so the evidence was not all that clear.
