Thanks David,I just found out about the C85 baffles and I'm not sure
what I have. There is a rounded pan on the backside of the oil tank that
was there when I bought the aircraft. I added a deflector on the
backside of that based on what I thought made sense a number of years
ago and this seemed to help but was not enough. I will check out El Reno
and go from there. All responses so far indicate that I should have
something more that I have now.
Thanks for your help.
