Thanks very much for that information Area51.
Next time I get a chance I'll check those locations on my engine.

Finished current service session and carried out post quality assurance che
cks this morning on the 912... "Amazing" =F0=9F=98=8A is the word; engine r
uns on the iridium spark plugs like its fuel injected now, unbelievably smo
oth and has got to be the smoothest 912 i've experienced so far; mag drop c
heck is identical at 50rpm; startup is instant with zero vibration through
entire rpm range right down to 1100rpm. Wouldn't surprise me if remaining f
inal O2 sensor mixture tuning session requires no further adjustment. Can't
wait to give it a fly tomorrow morning!
Break Break:
James the oil weeping was identified at two of the M6 oil pump bolts; so Th
ey were removed individually and permatex grey applied to the bolt shanks a
nd refitted and re-torqued. Both valve covers on the right bank were also w
eeping, so removed, checked for any screw driver damage to parting lines, d
egreased both cover and o'rings with shellite then refitted with a light sm
ear of permatex grey at the o'rings then refitted M6 bolts and re-torqued.
(Note that whenever using sealants, especially silicon, on oil-side engine
components to never apply excessive amounts as dags have been known to brea
k off and block fine oil galleries and cause premature component/bearing fa
ilure).
