The oil consumption isn't that bad. The bad part is what it does
consume is transfered to the belly...invest in some simple green
stock or the like :-)

Don't know how it works on the Navion, but on the Bonanza I have to
sometimes wonder if the leaky E-225 wasn't Beech's way of lubricating
the nose gear.

I have heard of people owning an E-225 that was leak free. I've
never seen it, though. The only time I ever saw one not leak oil
was when it didn't have any.
