John,
Is it leaking at the spacer plate? Do you have the spacer plate in place?

Woodward oil leak Help..
Has any one that has Vans Woodward governor,had oil leaks
around the 1/4 mounting studs to the unit..Even after replacing
with new gasket,there is oil coming out at the studs at 2000 rpm
or more!!I know that there is a lot of pressure this unit puts out,
but I really do not want to send it out to be checked if anyone has
had this same problem..It has only about 130 hrs on it..
Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks

Well it is leaking at the 10 o'clock stud and moving back and pooling
in a small depression just past the nut..The spacer plate did leak a
little,but removed and installed with new gasket..I have been chasing
this leak since I installed the new eng and governor,and got mad and said this is going to stop!!It will only show up at the 2000 and operate the CS some and out it comes...I sure hate to have to send it off for $320.00 to check it out..I am going to try to call Woodward tomorrow..
Thanks
John

IIRC there is supposed to be a gasket on BOTH sides of the spacer.

I have a rebuilt Woodward gov that works fine. Leaked at one time, but a new gasket fixed it.
You've witnessed it squirt out at that location? It can't be coming from something up higher on the accessory case and leaking down? Just a thought....sometimes it's hard to tell......
