Oil leaks can be tricky. I bought my Bonanza last August. Didn't seem
to be much oil usage. I then changed the oil and filter. After 6 hours
I was down two quarts. Very little on the belly and nothing on the
floor. Put two quarts in and flew 6 more hours, down 1/2 quart to nine
and a half quarts. Flew six more and it's still at 9.5 quarts. So I'll
just keep watching it and see.

I had a minor oil weep in my Lyc O-360-A1A and tryied the patch the
seams. Worked for a while but started again. Only way I got rid of it is
when I purchased a factory OH engine. I hope your's works better than
mine did.

Well, not too many surprises this year, other than the ELT. (Which I
suspected would not pass again, and it didn't.)

4. Engine Oil Leak. We flew around an hour today, and didn't see any
signs of oil, but that's not much of a test. We'll see if the goop my
A&P put on the engine does any good over time.
