First thing I did.  Possible leaking through the split in the washers.

Had same issue with freshly-rebuilt box for our BN2; drained box and 
applied gasket sealer between all the shims.  Guess I'll have to try 
that--was hoping for a reprieve.

            My BJ8 is leaving a (larger than usual) oil spot on the
            flattened cardboard box that serves as a disposable drip pan
            and leak map.  It appears to be leaking at the 'cover'
            (Moss# 667-835), where I know there is a shim pack and,
            possibly, a gasket.  I know throwing Penrite or STP in there
            might lessen the leak, but I'm wondering why the box would
            start leaking suddenly at a place that doesn't experience
            any movement or wear?<br>
            <br>
            Thoughts?<br>
