Oil left of

[skykay]

the nosewheel after a couple of days sitting in the hangar. Is this normal? I have 7qt in the engine of my M20J mse.

No

 

[timwinters]

On the hangar floor?

Is this where your crankcase breather tube is?

 

[skykay]

the oil is droping out of the tube sticking out of the cowling

 

[skykay]

yes I think it is the crankcase tube

 

[donjohnston]

Yeah. I'd say normal. I always put a bucket under the breather tube after I pull it into the hangar.

 

[timwinters]

yes I think it is the crankcase tube

That's normal. As long as it's not excessive. You don't have a gallon of oil laying on your floor do you?

I have a rubber car mat that sits next to my front tire to catch breather tube oil (yeah I'm anal like that)...a couple of drops of oil after every flight is normal.

Bingo!

The 201 is just marking its territory.

If it isn't dripping oil it probably isn't running.

Chip Gibbons called that his fun meter.

I use cardboard to catch the mocha latte but I like the idea of a cup or bucket better. In the wind last weekend I had drips streaked all over my nose pant while at MERFI.
