Too far back. The camshaft oil seal is behind the redundant pulley bottom right (under the fuel pipe) Richard

It used to be the points before I eliminated them. SU carbs are pretty tolerant, plus I got rid of one of those It's usually the damn SU petrol pump

I can't help thinking I am so much happier working on diesels. Blocked carburettor jets, manifold air leaks, a myriad low and high tension electrical problems. Not my concern Mind you, I still have a Bonneville T140E to evict from my unit. Carburettor problems... Richard

You'll see a camshaft oil seal leak, oil will clearly be running down the face of the end cover The end of the camshaft has a lip seal and an oil thrower inside that. Removing and refitting an end cover often means destroying the seal because of the oil thrower, so when I test run an SR I leave the seal out. You don't get a massive leak although it is pretty obvious. I fit the seal before a final test run Richard

Have a feel underneath the fan housing, it has a tiny drain hole in the bottom

In the lumpy water world, wood bits get enclosed in glass using the West system - and very beautiful it is too I guess the drawback for a composite canal boat would be dragging along the bottom of the cut Richard

Come on, come on - what was the problem? Richard

There are three locks Correct - I mixed up Ventnor and Wigrams I have to be on Calcutt lane some time in the next week or two, my insurance is already registered with Ventnor Marina Richard

More inflammation needed

And the OP's video is... I bet they are exceeding their allowance

And takes what file size?

You'll need to host them somewhere else and link to them.

Unfortunately, it's almost certain to be the crankshaft oil seal. Oil leaks out, onto the flywheel, is thrown into the airstream, along the tin duct, hit the end and runs down onto the top of block in almost exactly that place Richard Yes to some sealant, not Hylomar (horrid stuff) Wellseal is my preference You get bigger leaks in that area from the bottom of the fuel pump housing than from the copper rings. Those rings are clamped tight by the cylinder head studs. The gasket under the fuel pump housing on the other hand relaxes and always has oil next to it Richard
