So, the boss wife and I are taking the newly restored 172 on a little road trip, she has the Penn Yann STC for a 180 horse engine, new almost everything and she's sporting a GTN 750 nestled in the stack.
Our plan: Shelter Cove, Santa Rosa, Ashland OR for a couple of plays at the Shakespearean Festival, and then home.
Shelter Cove was nice, and this morning the crappy weather rolled in right on cue. We left VFR and joined V 27. And got a clearance into KSTS. No Huhu.....until just outside CEVAR oil started splattering on the windscreen. :yikes: Bummer. No sense declaring as I was already number 1 in the cue so I watched the oil pressure and took it on in. Still had pressure when I shut down. Looks like a leak at the oil cooler return. Wifey is NOT impressed
New seat covers on order.
