Condensation in Oil Vent Tube
in General Tech Discussion

Aloha Rotax Owners,
I've been flying a 912 ULS in Hawaii for about 150 hours, one whole year now. Just today, I noticed heavy Condensation in my clear oil vent tube line. I did not fly today, but just did some run-ups on the engine. After about 15 minutes, I noticed drips of oily/water slowly and intermittently trickling from the vent tube from the condensation build up. I just switched to 100LL instead of 92 Mogas since I just do warm-up every 7-10 days since my aircraft is grounded for now. Are these watery drips from the oil vent tube normal? Oil level seems to be where I left it since I noticed this occurrence. Hawaiian weather a factor?
