I think I have the (in)famous CS Prop Seal Oil Leak issue.
As I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong) a new prop will leak oil until the seal "seats".
My question is, how long does that typically take and how much oil leaks?
I just finished my 6th flight. There is about 3 flight hours worth of "leaked oil" from that area. If I could make a guess, it's somewhere in the range of 2-3 ounces of oil that ended up on the inside of the bottom cowl and (very lightly) sprayed on the canopy.
I have the cowl off, if I need to swap that seal or re-install the prop would like to do it over the next few rainy days.
Any advice appreciated!
