The oil leak comes as standard on these :)

The short prop shaft has a design fault where the centre cap of the yoke leaks the oil.

Take the prop off, clean up the yoke and seal the centre cap with a coat of epoxy resin

Thanks for the reply I have changed the prop I was just confused to why it was doing it again the garage was hinting at the gearbox being rebuilt it drives fine no problem with gear change or unwanted noises vibrations at all he also text me last night saying could be the breather but the box will have to come out appreciate your time

My guess is that the "new" prop has the same issue

Ok Thankyou il have to try the sealant fix as I don’t want to keep buying props and have same issue it not mega amounts it’s just dripping if I leave it sat for few days I’m guessing that’s where it pushes the oil around when driving then what ever has worked it’s way through will just drip do I need to replace the seal again when removing the prop do you know
