A more common cause of brown fluid in the B's footwells is rusty water from
a leaking heater. Don't know if this helps with the midget problem tho'.

Don't have any experience with Midgets, but fwiw, the B has a small oil
pressure tube connected to the back of the oil gage. If the junction of
this tube isn't tight, engine oil will drain into the cockpit. Could be
the Midget has a similar problem.
