I finally got this fixed :cool: It wasnīt the sump or the crank oil seal. Hereīs a pic of where the oil came from. | |

And add to that the joy of attaching the gearbox to the block. It was fairly difficult even with the engine out. | |

Thatīs exactly what I was thinking too. I already bought a new crank oil seal and was prepared to drop the gearbox out to change it, but I found no signs of it leaking. I guess Iīll have to change it eventually if I canīt find any other source for the leak. | |

Itīs definitely engine oil. I changed gearbox oil recently and itīs that red GM stuff. The oil thatīs coming out is yellow engine oil. | |

Iīm beginning to think that there is some kind of a curse on these engines. They just wonīt stop consuming oil. | |

I just rebuilt this engine a few months ago, and it has already started to lose oil. The oil is dripping from somewhere between the sump and the gearbox, but itīs difficult to see the exact leaking point. |
