Like painting the Golden Gate Bridge. My right side is dry. We done did
those. Left side isn't. Front cylinder (of course, the one behind the nose
bowl, which I have to take the PROP OFF TO GET AT). Actually,
I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to do the 'grunt' work and the
A&P is going to show me how to take a prop off and on, and
probably bill me for an hour of labor between coaching and
doing the seals. Nice project for a fine Spring day.

>(Which end leaks?)

This end. (As opposed to 'that end,' which is near the case).

May be related to the IA getting a little exuberant with the oil fill and 
giving
it all 5 quarts, too. I might as well drain some out vs. have to clean it
off
the belly.
