I have a Housai 285 hp that appears to be leaking oil from the nose case front seals or the gasket. Has anyone else had this problem. Thanks Kelley

Check the rubber sump seal. When that leaks, oil is sprayed in a spiral pattern all over the nose case and will make it appear the case is leaking. That might be your problem as it's a pretty common thing for that sump seal to leak.

Pete makes a good point.
It's tough to chase those leaks down. I had leak that drove me nuts and turned out to be from a pinched o-ring on a rocker cover. It was very hard to see.

A method I use to find the source of an oil leak is to clean the motor really good with some sort of detergent like Dawn dishwashing liquid, etc... this doesn't leave any residue like mineral spirits and leaves the engine very dry after the wash. Then dist the whole engine with baby powder then run the engine on the ground for 10 minutes or so. Your oil leaks will normally be very evident. Having said that, on these round motors, I stopped chasing the little leaks long ago. JB

Yep, Bike Clean sprayed on the cowling, wing roots, and fuselage wipes the evidence of the pesky leaks right away after the day of flying. You sleep better knowing you have a nice clean airplane to get oily the flying session. Unless it is pouring oil out on the hanger floor or you are down 2-3 liters after a 1 hour flight I'm not worrying with it. As long as your hoses are not old and worn out not worth the trouble chasing a piss ant leak. You'll fly less and die with a tight anal sphincter.
