Hi Herb....

My oil adapter on my newly overhauled front engine was the source of the leak we discussed the last time we spoke. I received the email from the FAA discussing this matter and then I forwarded it to my IA. The repair to my front engine adapter had been made just a day or two before the notice arrived in my inbox. My IA responded by saying, "my filter adapter was manufactured for Cessna by Continental Motors." He went on to say. "they have had some problems with thread damage on the adapter and in the engine piece that the adapter screws into and have an AD on certain ones but mine is not included in the AD."

So I guess to answer your question..., I'm not sure what I have other than what I just mentioned. I would also add, based on my recent experience with the adapter on my front engine, if they're leaking, you'll KNOW IT if one is paying any attention at all during preflight or simply looking down at the floor.

Take care,

Ed
