Chuck, you'd better check yer oil, Me thinks yer out.

Seriously though, I've never seen a Sunbeam motor that did not
weep from the front or rear of the crank. Some leak less than others,
but I dont think anyone can claim a dry driveway or garage.

I have eliminated all other possible oil leaks one way or another,
and my next R&D job will be to fabricate a front seal in the timing
cover.

This ought to help a little (50%).
