Well, as many of you at the show know I had a real bad oil problem. I first started by changing the crankshaft pully to the old one I had in the garage. Next, change the oil to 20/50. Than I drove it up and down the road to see if it would still spray. It had alot more pep this time. (maybe because it had oil pressure) Than I noticed it look like it was leaking out of the generator stand. I took that off and had a peek and noticed the metal seal was on backwards. It was in the right way but facing the wrongway. I switched that around and while the fan and stand were out I checked out the oil cooler and it seems fine. The problem after that was trying to get it all back in. It is just about done but will be finished on thursday. I have to do home work. Oh, incase you did not know, I always have home work. Law school, it is a task all in it's self. Thanks to all who helped and had the ideas. I would have never guessed what was wrong.

Good luck with your oil leaking issues, I was fighting the same problems earlier this spring. Your car looked even better in person by the way.

Yes. Replaced the crankshaft pully and new seals. Tighten everything down and good to go. This weekend I am installing the breather box and maybe the gauges.
