Default Re: Slight oil accumulation in air bridge and air horn

Just an update to the oil accumulation issue. It went away on its own. Perhaps it could have been that everything just needed to "settle in". Anyway it is gone.

Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions.

Cheers,

Don

My observation so far is that when you are topped up to the full line on the dipstick, windage losses seem to be greater...that and a couple of hours of hard running might use oil, but once you get down to the half mark, or even the low mark, the oil consumption (pcv vapor loss) seems a little diminished.

This makes a lot of sense. I do know the closer you get to an over-fill condition the more oil shows up in the bellows.
