I recently thought I had a leak from that crank seal but it turned out to be from the oil breather at the top of the engine. Oil was leaking there and running down the block. Try cleaning the old leaked oil off and seeing if you can determine exactly where is the source of the leak. I have since found and repaired 2 more oil leaks, one from a missing dipstick tube o-ring and one from an old o-ring on the distributor shaft. -Mark On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 6:36 AM, John Rodgers <jrodgers113@gmail.com> wrote: > Can't really see it, but oil is dripping out undernearh the pulley.
