Ohh it is kinked, could that restrict the pressure enough to blow oil? Dang gone I never thought that could do it I'll check it tonight. Father in-law will be shocked if that's the problem, he helped me drop the engine yesterday and put it back in, Well I hope it's something that simple.

Sawyer kinked the hose! ha-ha J/K it was Jenkins idea! but it would be surprising if it were that simple.

Thanks

It may not be as bad as it sounds. Make sure your oil breather isn't kinked or blocked.

it does look like it is slinging from behind the pully, that doesn't sound good. Thanks

Mechanical fuel pump? If so you could have a cracked base. Is it slinging out from behind the pulley? Too much crank case pressure will cause that.

Mark,

They all sound bad, I'll start checking all.

Will,

I did not pressure test the oil cooler, wish I would have now.

 

I think the next step is to go through it again and see what I come up with.

Thanks guy's

Question,

So I have an oil leak that is kind of heavy, I have tighten all the nuts on the alternator stand, carburetor, checked and tighten oil pressure switch, pulled the engine and checked the oil cooler and seal (ok, really clean), I didn't mess with the Distributor could this leak bad enough? Looks to me like it leaks more on the left side/front engine compartment, didn't see any evedence of leaking in the rear of the engine. Curoius, if anyone has other tips to check on.

 

Thanks,
