   Woodward    oil leak Help..

   Has any    one that has Vans Woodward governor,had oil leaks

   around the    1/4 mounting studs to the unit..Even after replacing

   with new    gasket,there is oil coming out at the studs at 2000 rpm

   or more!!I    know that there is a lot of pressure this unit puts out,

   but I    really do not want to send it out to be checked if anyone    has

   had this    same problem..It has only about 130 hrs on it..

                          Anyone have any ideas???

                                         Thanks

                                John McMahon (RV6 C/S 180)

Dale

 Well it is  leaking at the 10 o'clock stud and moving back and pooling

 in a small  depression just past the nut..The spacer plate did leak a

 little,but  removed and installed with new gasket..I have been chasing

 this leak  since I installed the new eng and governor,and got mad and said this is going to  stop!!It will only show up at the 2000 and operate the CS some and out it  comes...I sure hate to have to send it off for $320.00 to check it out..I am  going to try to call Woodward tomorrow..

                                                 Thanks

                                                        John

IIRC there is supposed to be a gasket on BOTH sides of the spacer.

I have a rebuilt Woodward gov that works fine.  Leaked  at one time, but a new gasket fixed it.  

  

 You've witnessed it squirt out at that location?  It  can't be coming from something up higher on the accessory case and leaking  down?  Just a thought....sometimes it's hard to  tell......
