Rotax 914 leaking oil thru air filter


Turbo_Boss

Recommended Posts

Hello Guys,

 

Today I went to fly my Magni Gyro and to my surprise I see oil in the floor exactly under the turbo of the Rotax 914.

 

Its look like the oil is dripping from the hose that goes from the turbo to the airbox. Also the air filter is completely wet in oil.

 

I turn the prop by hand several times an the engine is not hydrolock. I also does not started the engine since I want to know whats going on before I started it again.

 

Last time I use it was like a month ago and everything was ok.

 

Last time I change oil, Rotax filter and plugs was like 20 hours ago and I have not add any more oil so it not that I overfilled.

 

Thanks for your help and advices,

 

Isaac

Have had this to a much minor amount after storage. Cleaned it out (remove air cleaner-pools inside) and it did not reoccur. You could do this and try SHORT flight to see if just storage ALTHOUGH by the amount it could well be an oil seal...sorry!
