Found My Oil Leak

[kingkarmann]

I pulled the motor last winter to have the tins powdercoated.
While the engine was free of its tin I cleaned and refreshed a bit
Got the tins back and put everything back together. I also bought a new seal and replaced old seals.
After a couple of drives I noticed a light mist or oil spray that appeared to be flinging off the crank shaft pulley.
I cleaned the oil film of the underside of the deck lid. I took a 45 minute drive Sunday at highway speeds. Once again, oil spray on the bottom of the decklid.
This time a noticed a small dribble of oil underneath the distributor. I believe oil was leaking through a bad seal, flowing down the case and ending up on the snout of the crankshaft pulley where it ultimately flung around.
I pulled the distributor. I believe this seal is the culprit.
I had a spare since a neglected to install it with the rest of the new seals😳
Duh!
