I just finished rebuilding my 72 1.7lL and had an elusive oil leak. It would show up on the alternator, crossmember that holds the engine and the shift rod. I have a car lift and was able to get good observation of the area but still could not find the leak. It would not show up on idling the engine but if I took it out and drove it it would leak like a sieve. This is a picture of the block when I rebuilt it and it shows where it was coming from. Just like "where's Waldo" who can find the leak? Hint: it's part of the block on the drivers side.
