Exclamation Less might be better...

Jose,

Try using the 6-Quarts POH minimum for flights of less than a couple of hours, or 6.5 Quarts if you're shy about doing so... and that should clear-up your problem.

Also, make sure the whistle-hole in the lower part of the breather tube is clear of debri. You could also check to make sure the oil cap is fitting tightly... if it isn't, that will cause suction effect and a mess. Also check that the oil dip-stick "O"-Ring is still on the end of the stick.

Hope this helps... We don't believe the cargo pod or cowl flap arrangement is the problem. When you put more than 6 or 7 quarts in these TCM engines, they're just gonna throw it out...
