Did anyone else zoom in on the Corsair picture? Look at the bottom of the engine cowling just aft of the cowl flaps...now look down to the puddle on the ground. I swear I see lines of fluid coming from the aircraft going to the puddle. Also the puddle looks like its growing with a small tail of fluid going past the left gear. Maybe my eyes are getting old or my iPhone is messing up the picture. Anybody else that or am I crazy.
I'd say it has been parked in the same spot for an extended period of time.
The vertical lines seem to be from the quality of the photo or scan.
The puddle doesn't look have a fresh, shiny look or have a thickness to it which it would have if it was the thick oil that would drain.
It appears to be missing the lower accessory cowl and the rudder.
