Default Cont O-300D oil leak problem

Small streaks? SMALL STREAKS??? Man, you got one of the tight engines.
Most O300s drip more than they burn. The only reason Continental never got
into the computer business is that they couldn't figure out how to make the
computers leak oil.

I had a '64 for the better part of 15 years and never COULD completely
tighten that sucker up, even after I did a down-to-the-ground overhaul on
it.

cowling on my 67 'Hawk
