I once had a leak like this and it turned out to be a rusted portion at the bottom of the curve of the oil filler tube. About 1.5" from the flange that attaches to the block. I had to remove the engine to swap out the filler tube...well it had to be removed for other things anyway... - Laurence ---------------------------------------- Laurence Smith Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 90 Westy (fanumbos) 87 GL / 91 Subie 2.2 ----------------------------------------
