KR>vw oil leaks post flight inspection
I'm using about the same as Jim. 8 ounces ( 1 cup ) every 10 hours. Actually , it's not burning up but rather gets thrown out the breather along the belly ( in spite of the "Stay Dry" breather kit from GPAC). My engine ( 2180 GPAC) has 102 hours since new.

Chris, Have you ever tried using a collection can on the firewall filled with something to cause the foamy oil to loose the foam? I used an upside down GUNK can with a vent at the top and a tube going into the top. I ran a tube from the breather to the can. I used the can screw lid to empty it once in a while. N64KR Daniel R.

Actually, I am planning to add something like that this winter when the flying season is done. I think there was a design in the Tony Bingelis books on that design . Must look it up.

I had the same problem,- fitted the Revmaster modified breather last week and it seems to work,- on ground runs anyway.

I use about 1/2 quart between oil changes or every 25 hours. I have 300 hours on my engine.

I don't even use that much---however most of it is leaks not burning. After every flight I get out the rag and wipe it down. Guess thats normal.
