There is no seal passed the slinger.The "sand" seal seals the oil from coming
outside the engine case.The sand seal originally was used to keep the sand from
transfering from the outside to the inside of the case.With just the slinger
ring the case is "open" to the atmosphere.

No. Not dumb. I built this engine and I can’t remember what is past the
slinger ring. I know that the slinger ring is meant to keep most of the oil
from the crankshaft opening.

OK, let’s pretend that, like 99% of all the engines out there, that I
have no sand seal. Now, Is there any other seal that should stop oil from
coming out around the crankshaft? And, can I replace it without ( oh crap )
splitting the case?

The sand seal will also stop oil.

It don't care what it seals.It is supposed to stop anything that tries
to pass such as oil.It could be blowing oil passed the seal because the rings
are bad or you could have scored piston .I might make an offer on a junk
engine.Then you can go buy a 2020 or some such thing.

I know that, but the sand seal is not an oil seal, right? I put in
the sand seal years ago trying to stop an oil leak (it was somewhere else).

You should be able to replace the sand seal with out splitting the
case.

On the way to Chuck’s house after the Classic I checked my oil at
the gas station and the engine compartment had oil EVERYWHERE. After freaking
out for a while and getting him home, I have decided that it probably isn’t a
severe leak, it just looked like it after more than a few hours of driving.
Anyway, from the splatter pattern on the top of the compartment, I think the
oil is coming from behind the crank pulley.
I am trying to remember if there is a seal where the crank comes
out of the case. I know that there is a slinger ring inside the case, but is
there a seal and can I repair it without ( oh crap!) splitting the case? I also
have a sand seal in there.
