Fan hub questions

[RMR&C]

The fan hub on my 8ba leaks oil around the shaft at the rear. I've taken the hub apart, and there is no seal there. Is there supposed to be a seal? What keeps the oil in the hub? Should I just run it with less oil in it? It was filled with oil as directed by the manual....

There are no seals. It is done with slingers. I would guess you overfilled it.
It takes only a very small bit of ( 1 oz ) EP lubricant. The specs for the oil were changed at a later date. See page 5-17 of the club 41-48 book

My 8ba has a 2 groove pulley on the generator, I have never put oil in it. Are there some that don't require oil?
