That has got to be one of the most neglected looking Type 4 engines I have ever seen. Poor thing. The surprising thing is that it does run. It needs some love and as already said an engine seal plus a whole lot more I imagine.

He's @ Pearl Harbor so I get the surface corrosion.
Mostly intact from what I see so seal it up, new fuel filter & see what happens.
