Can you tell if it is leaking arond the main seal at the crank or between the side seals on the block and seal holder I think the side seals leak a lot more than most people know




Thanks guys for the replies. Cab, All I can see (I even used ultraviolet dye) is a lot of oil at the right rear corner of the pan. I even looked with a bore scope before I tore it down for a 3rd time. The oil is being slung to the right side header. So it's dripping bad enough to blow with the rotation of the motor. The sides of the retainer seem pretty dry. It's hard to tell due to the slung oil. Any idea how to "flatten" the pan? It does "rock" when on a flat surface. What about NOT using the windage tray? What the thought on that? This is a street car, driven hard, but a street car. Thanks guy's!! Jeff
