[C320-list] FW: Oil Leak

[Ken Danko]

Thanks Karl,

I think that that this is my problem too. I tried tightening a couple of 
bolts on the front of the engine and it seemed to help. It leaks less oil 
but it still leaks some. I could try tightening some more but I am afraid to 
over tighten them. It is possible that the seal needs to be replaced which 
would be disappointing since I only have 165 hours on the engine.

Ken
