Unhappy BAD NEWS

Well I spoke to soon !!!!!
After I flew the plane I noticed oil comming from one of the blades. I talked to jeff at The Prop Shop, he told me to turn the prop until the plug in the hub was on top, then pull the plug, then turn the prop until oil came out and hope like hell it was RED, alas it was not, it was motor oil. That means there may be a crack in the blade threads, bad news !!!!!
I took the prop off again, and I will take it to The Prop Shop next week and tear it down.
BTW if you have prop type D2AF34C59 or D2AF34C61 it would be a good idea to have your A&P pull your plugs next annual and check the color of the oil. This may apply the any RED DIE OIL filled hub.
