On preflight I noticed a little oil seeping around the bolt on the
pilot's front cylinder (Superior Milleniums). This is on a '67 C150
w/ the Continental O200. I grabbed the bolt and turned it @ 2 1/2
times until it was finger tight against the cylinder.

Partner and I have grounded the plane. The gents hanging out at the
FBO say, put a wrench on her and fly the darn thing. We'd prefer to
stay safe, legal and alive.

Anyone else experience this and what am I in for? Thanks folks.

Yeah, use a torque wrench and tighten it to its lower or middle torque limit
and go fly. Check the torque on the rest of the nuts too. You should be
tightening a nut instead of a bolt. There are two sets of torque values on
those nuts because they go on bolts (or studs) of two different diameters.
AN5 and AN6? You're probably going to have to use a special wrench for the
torque wrench to connect to, but there should be plenty of those around to
borrow. There are here.
