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: 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! -- Ben Jackson AD7GD http://www.ben.com/
