Turns out it was motor oil. He had changed the oil a couple of months ago, and we determined (a) he definitely spilled some when changing the filter (impossible not to), (b) it is possible for spilled oil / overflow to get to the gear door, and it would be on that side, and (c) the fluid was definitely not brake or hydraulic fluid, and none of the brake/hydraulic lines were leaking. Also, it's not a current oil leak, because the level has held almost completely steady since the last change, even through a couple of long/high trips.<br /><br />So, looks like I was overcautious, but I now have a better understanding of the airplane, which is a win!MKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144913270867145730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28341641.post-31888230176664412692013-12-26T07:46:14.470-08:002013-12-26T07:46:14.470-08:00The NTSB is cheated of yet another juicy report!
