Default RE: bearings

Having some leakage past the front bearing is not a bad thing. If the vent gets plugged thats the only place for the oil to escape. I had an OS91 and used a long tube to vent that crankase oil mess. It worked great all summer, then I flew on a very cold day and found oil drooling off the engine from the front bearing. The castor got cold in the long vent line and congealed.
