Subject:      Oil Splatters in Engine Compartment

Hi,

When I got home from work yesterday, I noticed the bus was dripping oil, so I opened the engine lid to find oil splattered all over the back (FIF) part of the engine compartment! It was concentrated around the crank pulley area.

A friend of mine from down the street sez "looks like you blew a seal" and I said "help me fix the damn thing, and keep my private life out of this!"

Anyway, I cleaned up the mess, and took it for a another drive, and didn't see any more oil.

Can this be caused by over-revving? It was hot yesterdday, I was really cookin' down 80 (I actually passed a bunch of cars!)

I've never had a motor do this one before, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
