Me and my friend have been opertaing our Yak during wintertime now, operating the engine below 5 degrees Celsius, even down to -5. STarting the engine really hasn´t ben difficult, but have learned that you should not without pre-heating. We have drained for oil every 3 days without a flight, turning 20 blades before priming and another 10.
After the last flight at Saturday, we notice some oil dripping out of the exhaust imediatly after shut down.(maybe a teaspoon full)
That we didn´t like much! How common is this? May this be a sign of a minor hydraulic lock, with bent engine parts?
Since the cold weather, we also needed to prime some nicks while starting, to get it to fire properly and run. Is there a chance of overpriming causing damage?
Please advise, and from only those serius guys!
Thanx!

Hello,
Very common to have oil drip from exhaust. In fact, I see such maybe 98 times out of a hundred. Absolutely normal. Sometimes I see quite a bit of oil; sometimes hardly any.
Yes, you can get hydolock from over priming. I have a manifold drain that I installed off of #4, #5 and #6. So, in cold weather in particular, I prime the heck out of it, sometimes seeing fuel dripping out of my manifold drain--in which case I know it is fully primed. As long as you carefully pull the blades through after priming to check for restriction you're Ok.
