 Hey, Finn

    Been there, done that.  Came back from 30 minute flight with oil
covering canopy and rest of aircraft.  Takes more time to clean all that oil
off than fix the problem.  PSRU leak??

No, no evidence it's the PSRU. I've had a very small leak for as long as the plane
has been flying, around the oil filter mount pad. The leak has now grown so big
that I need to do something about it. Actually the photo was after a 10 minute (or
less) flight after I replaced the two o-rings. I either need to go to thicker
o-rings or it's the oil sensor or oil pressure switch that's leaking.
