Gearbox oil leaks
Just a note on the above, I have been slowly re-commissioning my Amazon and some of that has involved attempting to cure oil leaks, engine and gearbox.
Whilst looking for the gearbox leak I discovered that the casing that houses the reverse light switch wasn't tight so I obviously tightened it and continued to decide which casket the oil was coming from (M41 with O/D), cleaned everything down, went for another road test and upon returning home clambered back underneath to try and find the source only to find virtually no leaks at all (tiniest amount from the prop output lip seal). I'm thinking that the majority of my leak was being caused by the loose machine screw holding the housing in place, is this possible? Is the thread in the main-case a through hole? If so just thought it was worth sharing with the forum users. Doug. |
