Just saw your reference to Onan oil seals. I did all that and then discovered that the oil preasure sender was the problem. It intermittantly leaked and from the looks of things, as I cleaned up all the old oil, it had beenleaking off and on for a long time.
 
You mjight replace that just for grins.

To all who said check the oil pressure switch... That's what was leaking. I repositioned the fleet and pulled out the Onan. Removed shroud and with light in hand watched as oil pumped out of the switch with the onan running. Replaced switch and no more oil leaks.

Thanks all. Razz
