>This sounds strange, but I see a lot of oil around the filler cap. I bought the cap at Auto Zone and it has worked fine for 3/4 years.
The filler cap is almost under oil separator/breather and next to the dip stick.
How much oil is showing on the dip stick?

>I'm at Chattanooga, TN (CHO) with a considerable oil leak. I flew from the MS coast. My oil temp was higher than normal, but still within the limit. After 1 1/2 hours the temp began climbing. I think it might have been because I was flying near a thunderstorm and the downdraft was putting me into a climb attitude without realizing it. I landed and everything looked OK. Just the usual samll oil leaks. After taking off the oil temp climbed quickly and ran near around 108 C for most of the way. CHTs were normal (130 C) Upon landing the engine was running rough and the bottom of the fuselage is fairly covered with oil. I will appreciate any ideas.
