What is this covering on my 0-290d2? I think I have an oil leak coming from there. Wherever the leak is coming from it appears to intensify when the plane is on.
That's where the two position control valve for the Sensenich C-2FM two position prop goes. The oil to the prop is connected where that allen plug is located. The vacuum pump drive is on the upper left of the case.Vacuum pump pad ........ As Tom says likely just a bad gasket?

Ask around. Lots of guys will have one or two on a shelf after getting a new engine and bolting on alternators and prop governors. I gave one away not long ago. I may have another. I’ll look.

Where can i find the part number and order?

That was a nice prop which was AD noted out of existence.
No. All the oil is contained in the sump which is that large casting below the crankcase. The one the carburetor is bolted to and the intake tubes come out of the side of.When this gets replaced is the oil going to have to be dropped?

I have made plenty of gaskets in my lifetime but for an airplane engine I would buy the gasket from Aircraft Spruce or the like. A thin coat of EZ Turn works very well on gaskets to help seal and make them easier to get off when the time comes. I use it on mag and oil screen gaskets all the time.
The sump always holds 99% of the oil when off/sitting.
Cool. P/N 69551 GASKET, Accessory pad cover. I'm learning! Thanks.

Should I use this opportunity to replace other gaskets that may or may not be leaking?
If I'm placing an aircraft spruce order for a $1.95/part- anything else I should order to just have on hand as well?
Thanks all!
