Default 3-blade prop?

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
one blade. Is this something that could:

a) Stay the same over time

Yes
b) Get worse little by little

Yes, or even get better.
c) Let loose all at once

Probably not, but of course you should have it all
inspected by your A&P, or just take off the spinner
and have a look yourself to see if its even coming
from the prop/hub.

A small amount of oil on the windscreen now and
then does happen, especially when weather temp
changes a lot. And, it may not be coming from the
prop. You'd be suprised at just how such a very small
amount of oil can get slung around by the prop and
get on the windscreen.
