If you were an optimistic guy like me (yeah, right) you'd think of the oil mist on the windshield as an early warning of a leak that you could fix before it got really bad, and therefore a plus, rather than a minus! I mean, what are the chances of a sudden oil hose failure? That would almost never happen, sort of like a broken crankshaft! I noticed you were signed up for the Gathering. It'll be good to see you again. I hope a bunch of folks make it this year. It's really become a time and place to get together with old friends that have a lot in common. It'll be close for me, but I'll get there. Just don't expect much more than what my plane looked like 3 months ago. The only thing I've changed is the engine.
