      sounds like it might have been traveling over to the bell housing from the other side, making you think the leak was there.

      I would be cam seals.. high enough to travel to the other side of the engine, only leaks such amounts depending on how long the engine was run.. it could still be a lot of things though.

      you are still under warranty, right?

      i thought his engine from the yard came with a 90 day warranty or something? he already had it fixed once, is that period over?

      Its a 1 year warranty that ends in early December 2009.

      But during that warranty, i blew the 1st engine so they shipped me a new engine, payed for the labour to put it in (13 hours @ $55/hour)

      They payed the crank seals and the labour to put those in becase the new engine they shipped was leaking, roughly another 12 hours.

      Now its still leaking... the 650$ engine i payed is going to cost them 3 times more in repairs, they will probly say **** it.
