I can commiserate with your oil leak problem in the IO 360.  I've owned a
Beech Sierra for  12 years and have suffered with that problem
continuously.  I've spent a couple of thousands of bucks over the years
trying to find the leak and fix it.  It still slings the same amount of oil
as it did over a thousand hours ago.  I think it'll do that till its dying
day.
 
I've talked with other IO 360 owners and hear it's a common symptom and
rarely amenable to correction.  The damn things sure run forever though, so
I've just learned to live with it and buy lots of oil.
