When you guys get it straightened out (and perhaps you have already
and I just don't have the brain cells left to comprehend), let me
know. My Spitfire's gearbox drips oil on the exhaust pipe and the
culprit is oil collecting on the very top of the gearbox. I ask
myself how it gets up there. The top plate has a vent, I think
that's what it is, shielded on the inside of the box and with what
looks like a slightly broken plastic plug. If the shield is meant to
keep oil from forcing its way up through that hole, it isn't working.
