<VV> oil leak

[J R Read_HML]

Hi Matt,

I KNEW that would get a rise out of you.  Just a tad surprised it was 
gentle.  <GRIN>

Oil can seep where the lower shroud attaches and disguise an O ring leak to 
LOOK like a pan leak to the uninitiated.  When I have an oil leak I'm trying 
to track down, I spray and wipe off the suspect area using brake clean. 
This helps to isolate the specific problem.

PS - ain't no rust holes in my lower shrouds.  I can send a picture - 
they're laying on the work bench. <DOUBLE WIDE GRIN>

Later, JR
