As I described in my build thread, last year, once I got the engine running, I noticed significant oil drops (or more) after each drive. With winter in full throttle, I decided to drop the motor, and see about fixing the leak.
Here's the view of the front. Maybe you can see some oil. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

If your oil pump cover was leaking, oil would be dripping from the bottom of the cover. Make sure the steel cover is perfectly flat. Get a sheet of glass and place a piece of 400 grit wet/dry paper face up with a little oil and lap the surface of the cover until it is perfectly flat. Then finish off with 600 paper. use a thin paper gasket and NO sealant! Torque to spec.
