    Should I be worried?

    Cleaning compressor strainer today and found ONE of the stickers from motor mounted oil tank in port lower cowling. There were 2 stickers on tank. Could the other one gotten sucked in through plenum?

    Definitely possible... have seen all sorts of items in the intake/reeds (or beyond).

    Any suggestions other than looking in to plenum for the obvious?

    Make sure it's not in the Attenuator or reeds- other than that a good look around inside the cowling and the TOP cowling.

    Not too worried about "damage"... though it would be preferable to not have them in the reeds.
