Hello,
I have a 73 type 4 that was rebuilt about a year and a half ago and has only 2000 mils sense the rebuild. it has recently started liking oil at a good rate. I’m not sure what to do, should it need to have its main block bolts tightened up after the rebuild or.. well im not sure? I have included 3 images of where the oil is showing up (besides on my drive way)...
Seams odd that it would show up on top of the eng looking like its sprayed on the distributor.
Any help would be appreciated.

| Looks messy. I wonder if you're blowing oil out the distributor? Is oil inside the dizzy too? On the good side the underside looks pretty dry considering the oil up top. The crankcase valve which that bales holds down may be leaking too, do you have the cork gasket for it? |

| Looks like a breathe box gasket leak to me, but have a look at the oil pressure sender and behind the fan. |

I have found that it's best just to replace any and every seal and gasket possible...and when that doesn't work, keep adding more oil. :wink:
Is that a stock dipstick?
The trapezoid gasket gasket on your breather maybe...maybe your Dizzy seal?
But one thing to remember, once there is a leak...it goes everywhere.
Wash up your motor with some Gunk (non foaming) and pay attention!
it's only $2.49 @ Wally's |

| Since you don't show it installed, how do you have your breather run? If you are getting excess crankcase pressure you will have oil coming out everywhere. |
