I haven't yet gotten to it.  I removed the radiator, electric fan, little 
plastic factory fan(looks like a daisy to me) and now I'm stuck.  I don't have 
a wrench big enough to remove the bolt holding the crank pulley.  I have a 
1-1/16 socket, and a 1-1/4 wrench, I would assume it is a 1-1/8, as one is too 
little, and one is too big.  I'll have to hit the stores tonight or tomorow, to 
try to get one.  I'll keep everyone posted.  Thanks for the interest and the 
replies.

Did you ever find out what was leaking? I just started up a newly rebuilt 
engine and, as of yet, don't have any leaks there...yet.  It seems there are a 
lot of opportunities for leaks in that area. The sealing block, the front plate 
and the timing cover.

Thanks ,

Bud
