if it's slinging behind the pulley then it would be pressure.  That means worn guides, rings or a blocked breather.  You can always put a bandaid on it
by using a bolt in sand seal.

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,
