Good evening all,

I went to fly this afternoon (it had been 5 days) and there was some fuel that had been dripping from the bottom of the cowling, it appeared to have stopped. Still learning this planes quirks.

Everything seemed ok, normal run-up, no additional leaking. After flight and shutdown it started again.

So a friend and I removed the bottom cowling and noticed the dripping was coming from the Rotec TBI... It also appears to have 100LL stains around the base.


This is my first plane with a Rotec TBI, any thoughts on what to do or where to start in the "fixing Process"

Thanks

Ruben
