I just bought this 49 8n which supposedly has a new sleeve set and bearings. Runs great and burns no oil. But it does have 60 lbs of oil
pressure when the engine is cold. I have a bad oil leak at the top of the timing cover. It is leaking right at the top bolt of the timing
cover just under the bottom bolt of the water pump. The leak is at the gasket I did not think there should be any oil behind the timing
cover.Could the timing case be filling with oil? Where could the oil be coming from? I thought it was from the cap holding the oil pressure
relief spring, but it is not. Is it from the camshaft seal? I don't know what's behind the cover and I didn't want to start tearing it down
before I had some idea what I would be getting into. Thanks for any help.
