John, make certain that your drain fittings from the PSRU are tight. I found that I needed to use a thread sealer and torque it down a bit tight to keep it from leaking on mine. I kept finding a film of oil under the PSRU and finally figured out it was the fittings that screwed into the PSRU casting.

Subject: [FlyRotary] minor oil leak

Now I got rid of the big oil leak I can start to go after the little ones :)

I'm beginning to suspect that there's a very small leak at the back of the engine (pusher) near the flywheel. There's a small pool in the open part of the housing below the flywheel.

Has anyone else seen this?
