Oil leaking from crankshaft pulley

[boojus]

i put the new pulley and seal on yesterday, ran the engine for a little while and noticed oil had stopped coming out from behind the pulley and now a little bit was finding its way up through the bolt and washer then being flung around and off the pulley. so i sealed it with some gasket maker stuff and let it cure overnight. i also sealed off the tube that was coming down from the oil filler that didnt go anywhere cause i had noticed a little bit of oil leaking from here too. checked the breather box connections and things and took it for a drive today for the first time in a while. checked the engine after the drive and no oil had leaked from the pulley. it is nice. thanks for all the help, i recommend the slip in sand seals to anyone who also has this problem.

good to here :agree:

sounds like some weird preassure happening to push oil out through the crank pulley bolt.

well at least it's fixed
