I have a Yak55M. Lately I am finding traces of blue (fuel leak) just under the fuselage, aft of where the left main gear is attached. There is no evidence of a static leak and it only occurs after extensive inverted flight. Anyone have experience with this?

If the tanks are similar to the Yak-52 (yellow, aluminum), the baffles are riveted from the bottom then welded over to seal. Over time, the welds crack and the tank leaks. Removing the tank and sealing with 8802 sealant has worked for me.
