I am chasing a few minor oil leaks. +- 400 hours.
I don't know enough about the inter-workings of the mechanical fuel pump to know this but it appears that oil is seaping around the gaskets that are sandwiched around what I assume is the diaphram? There are two gaskets here, an upper and lower. It might be oil migrating from where it bolts to the acc. case, but it sure looks like it is coming directly from the pump itself.
Experiences with this? Do I need to exchange this for a rebuilt pump?
It seems that most of my accessories on this Aerosport Engine have some kind of small leak or another; acc. drive (fixed), governor pad, etc...
Not enough oil to even mark its spot in the hangar but I want them fixed.
