My mechanics have replaced all 6 rocker box
covers and gaskets, and re-flared the push rod tubes. I have spent
almost $1000.00 so far and it's still leaking.


JayYou told your mechanic that you had an oil leak, and that he
should go fix
it?
Whoo-eee...I'll bet he's had visions of sugar plums dancing in his head
for
weeks! Talk about a license to steal...

Not at all. I was there every minute, observing everything. I even
flew to Danbury (Coastal Aviation) to pick up the new rocker box covers
myself. I did the runups on the ramp after each attempt to fix it.
These guys were definitely not trying to exploit me, and they are just
as frustrated as me by the persistant leak. In fact, I am forwarding
all the comments from the NG to them at their request. They want to
fix it as much as I do.

Never, ever send an A&P on a fishing expedition. You'll only get
hooked,
and everything will smell fishy...

Sound advice, but this is not the case here. Thanks . . .
