[TR] Revs and oil

[John Gillis]

Season greetings to all, I may be spending my holiday under the TR2. I was in
the garage trying to get my as of yet not on the road TR2 running better by
fiddling with timing and carb settings. For the first time since the re-build
I was revving out a bit over a half hour period. When I returned the next
morning I found a stream of engine oil all the way to the rear of the car
which appears to have come from the crank rear scroll seal. Is this terminal?
does it require engine out? Or (he asks optimistically) will this "settle
down" and will only happen while revving but not going anywhere.
Regards and fingers crossed
