<VV> Oil Spray

[DTerry8123 at aol.com]

About 40 years ago I had a similar leak in my Corsa. I opened the engine  
lid only to find everything covered with oil. I was unable to see what was  
leaking. After further inspection, I discovered a very tiny pin hole in the  
oil filter. The pin hole was facing toward the engine. A tiny stream of oil  
was being sprayed onto the harmonic balancer which was slinging it all over 
the  engine.
