Oil leaks can be tricky. snip So I'll
just keep watching it and see.

Ditto. Our left engine left a "KilRoy was here" at each stop during our
trip to Vegas and back. We started out with both engines at 12 quarts.
After 25 hours, the right showed 9.5 and the left showed 9. At each enroute
stop the difference was nearly indiscernible. The right engine was fairly
clean, the left was fairly oily, so I'm guessing that we leaked 1/2 quart in
25 hours. Haven't been able to figure out where it's leaking from. It
settles upon the back side of the fuel injector throttle body housing, drips
into the housing then out the vent hose. Everybody we've talked to about it
says "Wow, I'd be happy if that's all mine used in 25 hours!" hrmph...
doesn't make me feel any better.
