I have a bone stock 70 FI motor in a good running order with good power and speed BUT it looses oil. A couple of months ago, I went ahead and replaced the oil cooler seals in hope of ending this problem. It didn't, and I noticed at the time with the cooling tin off, that the fan was blowing oil onto the motor. We even had a discussion about it on the list and concluded at the time that some spilled oil was the cause. Now I am not so sure. I guess it could be blow-by but I don't know how to verify this with a motor that seems to perform very well in all other aspects. Hisham 70 sq.
