has any one got a pic of the fly wheel end of the crank, as i have got a massive leak somewhere behind the flywheel, and the only thing that i can think it is, is the crank seal, i am wondering if there is a groove that the seal fits in on the crank and i havent pushed it on far enough, if its not the seal what could it be, thanks for any help, phil.

IIRC there is no groove on the crank that the seal sits on, only on the block halves. I think the seal sits fairly flush with the face that the flywheel bolts on.

Also, on the block halves there is a service hole and a plastic cover with 5 or 6 screws. Oil could leak from these too.

the engine is out but ive covered it up for the day as im of to work soon. the way the oil was pouring out it should be pretty easy to see the leak but i cant see anything yet, ill take another look tommorrow, thanks for your reply, all the best, phil.
