What about the hard drive? there is a difference between dust tight and fluid tight. Would it still operate with oil swimming around in it?
Even so, the air supply made it look the part  ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
