A new day dawns and a new oil leak surfaces. This 912 ULS with 1552 hrs has oil seeping from the upper front main bearing bolt, right above the mag plug. The oil runs down along the side of the mag plug onto the lower front main bearing bolt and then is blown all over the #2 cylinder. I have not checked the torque on these bolts because I seem to remember crankshaft binding problems associated with these two bolts. In addition, the oil filter mount is in the way of the bottom bolt and would require removing the oil pump assembly to provide access. What should I do to control this leak?
