We thought an oil leak was from the prop flange seal. After removing the prop its pretty clear the oil leak is coming from here. This cap is the governor idler retainer cap, right?
The cap was covered in some hard epoxy / goop that I had to pick away. Under that was some RTV. It's obvious someone did a shoddy job a long time ago.
The guys at the local shop think it is B 1/2 (B-Half) or some sort of pro-seal that has cured rock hard. I picked all of it away and we aren't sure what we are seeing here.
The threads in the copper inset piece are completely stripped. The epoxy (B 1/2, whatever it is) was gooped in there and the plug was installed.
Is that copper piece removable? It almost looks soldered in. We couldn't find any reference to a removable / replaceable plug in the overhaul manual.
Is there an approved / recommended repair procedure here?
