 After 23 flying hours, G-IRON has delveloped and oil leak.  After one 

 hours flying about a teaspoonfull of oil appears to have come from the 

 oil seal on the prop sfaft and then been thrown of the prop flange 

 ontothe spinner backplate. 

 

 

 The aircraft was taken to Skydrive who replaced the oil front seal on 

 the prop shaft and checked the shaft.  The engine was ground run 

 for 10 

 minutes with no apparent oil loss.  The next flight (again about 1 

 hour)and the same oil leak occured. 

 

 The aircraft was again taken  to Skydrive who replaced the gearbox 

 case,oilseal, front bearing and prop shaft.  The engine was ground 

 run for 10 

 minutes with no apparent oil loss.  The next flight (again about 1 

 hour)and the same oil leak occured again.  At the moment Skydrive 

 are unsure

Is everything correct with the breather and blowby ?

Gilles may be right on the money, here.  If the breather is restricted, oil will pass by the seals, new or not.  That would be my first place to look...
