Hi, i have a 72 914-4 with a freshly rebuilt 1.7 case and crank shaft w/ big pistons and cylinders. i have been having a massive problem w/ the engine leaking excessive oil first i fixed the hole in the dipstick tube( machine shop bent it when i got my case worked on) then figured out that the thermostat pulley had to be on. On fixing each of these the oil leak has been decreasing as each got fixed, but on the side of the engine w/ the pulley it is still leaking too much to drive it regularly. the oil drips down on to the exhaust and produces quite a bit of smoke. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about where this mysterious leak could be coming from? it is not coming from the push rod tubes from the best that i can see. i have dropped the engine about 4 times trying to resolve this issue and hopefully some one can help me with this problem
