I recently had two TSIO-360 cylinders overhauled. The cylinders were factory new with only about 150 hours, but that’s another story.


The two cylinders now have approximately 14 hours since the overhaul. After each flight, a mixture of avgas and mostly oil drips from the sniffle valve. The engine shop says it is not worrisome and it will soon stop. Not only has it not stopped, it has remained the same or gotten slightly worse.


A picture is attached showing the pool on the hangar floor three days after a recent flight.


Any thoughts on the cause or solution?
