Default Re: Oil leak in my 40

If your engine is in fact a 40 engine it doesnt have a seal in the rear but a slinger. Some of the causes could be oil leaking at the oil pump idler cover, oil leaking past the cork strip that seals the rear of the oil pan against the rear main cap,oil could be leaking by the rear main bearing if it has too much clearance. If it comes to pulling the engine ,I wouldnt pull any sheetmetal,I removed mine in my 40 without removing the hood.
