I have a friend with a new RV-8; he has been having small droplets of oil deposited on his windshield. At first we thought the front seal was leaking and we replaced several of them. The droplets continued, then we put dye in the oil and checked for leaks and it looks like the front lower case seam is leaking. So now we are disassembling and resealing the engine.
Over the years we have installed many different kinds of engines on our company test mule RV-8, to test performance. I have experienced a lot of different types and amounts of oil leaks or seeps. They almost always wind up on the belly if they are large enough. But never have I seen oil deposited on the windshield. I was wondering if any body else has seen small oil droplets on their windshields?
