Bob, even one year after my initial engine startup, I'm still finding  
loose fitting here and there. Not much, but just wet. Than they take  
1/4 to 1/2 turn. I found one today. Just keep running your fingers  
under the hoses and fittings once an a while.
Today I swapped props with John Slade and took him for a ground ride  
in my convertible Cozy. He was so happy that almost wet himself :)
