According to Finnish reports, they thought that the B.239 was sabotaged due to its initial propensity towards oil leaks. (Actually, it was just shoddy work by the Brewster company or use of worn out engines. With typical creativity, the Finns solved the problem by reversing the oil rings.)
The F4UA1 corsair was also vulnerable to oil leaks on the canopy. The ground crews figured out that taping over the oil tank access panels was a decent workaround, but this gave some F4Us a distinctive appearance.
