Mike: Having worked in the aviation community; the term "leak" implies a visible flow of fluid, which of course would ground anything that flies. We used the term "seepage" a lot but a leak was term to avoid. Seepage tends to "liberate" oil over time, but doesn't generally lead to immediate grounding.

Stroker, I love that twist on oil leaks - "...oil liberated by the engine". Very nice!

Boss1940: See Alan's input at the beginning of the thread. All 3 of those numbers were very lightly stamped, and sometimes very difficult to "bring-up" especially if there is substantial surface rust. With the body installed, the only one that is really accessible is the one at the front, and it is often preserved from rust by oil liberated by the engine.

Don, the visible frame number(engine compartment) on a '40 is generally near the front crossmember.
