I remembered something when i saw this forum and thought I would add it.
I flew in a few heli's in the Marines, and every ride scared me, But I remember one flight in a CH-46 Sea Knight in which there was hydraulic fluid leaking close to the aft rotor. I told the crew chief and he told me not to worry.'' If the leak stops, make sure you let me know!''
To this day im not sure if he was messing with me or not. These heli's were over 30 years old.
He was telling you the truth! They leaked everywhere,,, Xmsn oil, HYD Fluid, engine oil and even electrons. The one type of leak that was t tolerated was a fuel leak
