Ernie:

I put a big slug of oil in after running the engine, but I also spin it with the starter for 20-30 seconds after I put the slug of oil in. A lot of it blows back out, but I know it's well oiled inside. After this I'll get a few drops for a day or two, normally I'll tie a bit of tissue on the vent line, catches it all.

And I'm the one who pulle the covers and oils the overheads before a flight session. If you normally find yours wet with oil you don't need to bother with it.My 120 engines are usually dry, the FA-72 is generally slightly wet, the FA-80 almost always has plenty of oil. Seems it's really mounting position that makes the difference. Upright - dry. On the side - damp. Inverted, sloppy wet.

Bill.
