Oil tank flange cracked.

[Snoopy]

I have been fighting an oil leak from my oil tank. I took the thing off and put on a new gasket doing an excellent job sealing the tank. Without any oil in the plane, I was getting some drips. I put a flash light on the drip area and saw a small hairline crack where the flange is welded to the tank. Bummer. Pulled the tank off. A friend has a spare tank he is going to loan me have until I can get a replacement or have mine welded up.

Peace
