A notorious racer at Bonneville this year had a leak under the hood that looked like the filter had pushed out the seal again. (placed where the fuel pump boss is)
It turned out to be the timing pin hole in the front cover. And that with two stages of dry-sump scavenge on the pan. No provision for oil on the gears, just about 75 psi on the mains. IMHO, any excess oiling inside an engine is good, as long as it stays in.
