I have a Dakota and after adding a quart of oil and flying for a couple hours, I noticed what looks like a patch of oil stain on the top of the cowling.. maybe 6x9 inches, forward of the oil hatch on the pilots side.
Could this be seepage from the constant speed prop? It did not seem to wipe off, so it could be discolored paint... (from the heat?) Not sure. Maybe I need to use some Carbon X on it.
There is no oil anywhere on the prop, hub or spinner that I can see.
I am a new owner so still learning to observe all this stuff.
