As long as we're describing our respective aircrafts' prostrate problems, My
O-360-A3A had some weeping on the upper case halves. Re-torquing didn't fix it, and
it was just enough to have a slight sheen on the case after a flight. Ran a bead of
RTV down the top and it doesn't leak anymore. No worries.... there are some things
that'll seal it non-intrusively. I doubt it on a crank seal, though...
