Default TT 40 leaking fuel at front bearing

I broke in my new engine using the recommeded procedures from posts in the forums using an 8-6 and Byron 15%/18% fuel but have noticed fuel now leaking in front similar to the way it does on my TH 46.

Should it be of concern, the engine is really strong running 9-6 sport and getting better each run


Thanks John

no need to be concerned. Lubs the front bearing and keeps the dirt out. Only be concerned if it leaks so bad that air goes back in and screws up the needle setting or you run out of fuel before the heat ends or your plane holder refuses to hold the plane because he doesn't like the fuel bath.

Yep, it's supposed to do that. Shows that the lube is getting into all the right holes.
John, Do you have any pylon racing in your future?
