Karma time. I've addressed my oil pressure sender leak and it seems good after a couple short ground runs. I set the idle also.
The left side pushrod tubes are leaking. The right side are dry.
I think I'll buy some of those silicone seals and do the job when I do the first valve adjustment.

Just stuff coming out of the breather will make the belly messy yet not show down on the dipstick. On my AeroVee powered Fisher biplane, I routed the breather down the gear leg and stopped most of the mess. My Onex has the separator but a few drops still get by to keep the belly well lubed.
