They took the bowl off and inspected everything, then put it back together, fueled it, and let it sit for a few hours with no evidence of any leak. So he suggested keeping an eye on it and setting the fuel selector to “off” when parked.

I’m having a similar issue with my 182P – cylinders 3 and 4 tend to run in the mid-high 390s while the rest are in the 360s. At my recent annual the A&P found that my carb heat was misadjusted (and thus always slightly on) and said that could have been contributing. But after flying the other day it’s still happening. EGTs look pretty even ac…[Read more]
