1. There are four through bolts in the strut flange which we all naturally fill over and fair. duh... so you are not going to see them unless the fairing starts to peel. Also I agree with the slime gasket theory. running hard disrupts it.
1a. Also look at your prop ... they have a tendancy to get out of balance like a tire and vibrate which goes right to the strut base.
2. Bill Re Pela ... inherited one with 526 ... taught Lisa H how to use it last Sept. just have to remember it still needs hot oil to work really well ... as we found out.
