Thread: oil leak at gear box

my nagging oil leak has finally been found and corrected.

i think a number of us that had our gear boxes R&R'd by the original flight design west have this leak.

looks like they used a sealant that fails. glad to get it fixed.

I had a leak at the bottom of my gearbox that appeared after my gearbox was overhauled as part of the recall and installed by my local A&P. Rotax specialist at GPM found and fixed it quickly and cheaply. Used the upgraded sealant (can't remember the loctite number).

You should use Loctite 5910 (it's black).
