What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: the aircraft was enroute from orange city, IA to forest city, IA when the pilot smelled and saw smoke in the cockpit and noticed oil on the windshield. The pilot made a precautionary off-airport landing. The mechanic that inspected the aircraft and repaired the engine after the landing, found the crankshaft seal had blown out. The mechanic stated that he believed engine crankcase pressures had built up because the breather was obstructed by frozen condensation. A malfunction or defect report has been requested from the mechanic.
