[FC] Chasing an oil leak-revisited

[Terry Kalp]

Mike,

Last year I was helping a friend chase down a bellhousing seal leak (pulled
the engine four times) the final solution was a new viton seal and a sleeve
on the crankshaft surface.  Tried two new seals and spacing the seal with a
cylinder base gasket . . . check the crank surface carefully.
