Oil Leaks
I chased down a couple of these yesterday. I found the lower clamping nut on my right mag needed to be "snugged up" as did all the nuts (to differing degrees) mounting the prop governor. Another thing often worth checking are the screws holding the valve covers in place. But they were all fine.
