I have 2 O rings that fit over the nose of the crankshaft behind the front seal. I see no purpose of this o ring as it just sits at the front of the crank shaft. What is it supposed to seal?

I can say with quite a fare bit of confidence. That without this o-ring on the flywheel. The motor will piss oil at a good rate.
PO didn't install one. I lost a quart of oil pretty quick. |
