Young 914 owner 's oil leak dried up. Im not so lucky.

I recently built my '76 2.0 engine. It runs fine but I am dripping a half quart of oil in 80 miles. I assembled the case with sealer ala Jakes video and installed seals according to video and Wilson. Oil pressure sender, oil pump, oil cooler, oil filter are all dry. Valve covers, pushrod tubes, head and jugs are dry. Sump is wet and tranny and rear bumper...I dried it off and ran it in place for a few minutes and shut it down. Case seams, oil strainer and drain plug are dry. Oil drips from the front and rear of the case so I assume the front and real seals are not doing their job.

I'll got my crank from Rimco and I'll call them to see what's up. Off hand I don't recall if the seals are on a turned journal. Would that matter? And I suppose I got my seals from them but I'll have to check my stack of invoices.

After 600 breakin miles, its still dripping. I've added some seal conditioner with no luck. Anybody have any similiar experience?

I'll post the outcome but in the meantime I'd be glad to hear from anybody.
