My Franklin has always had a slight oil leak from around the area of the
crankshaft seal. However on the last couple of flights it seems to now be
getting worse. Tried some formation work on the last 2 flights requiring more
abrupt power changes than usual, not sure if this makes any difference or not.
Anyone else with a Franklin had oil leaking from around this area?

Does this require a new crankshaft seal or is there something else I can try ?
