Anyone got any experience with CS props going bad? The oil on the
windshield was minimal, and there was only slight evidence of oil on

I had that problem when I first got my PA-24-260. The leak was actually
from the prop governor, not the prop. On my IO-540, the mount point is
on the left front just inside the cowl opening. Oil would come out (by
buffeting?) and mist the windshield lightly and also run back under the
cowl and streak out the oil filler. It was so slow that it would take
several flights to get the oil door if I cleaned under the cowl.

I found most of the leaking happened between flights, so I started wiping
off the control arm before flying and one time I pushed on the rotating
part and it popped in and "seated" and it quit leaking!
