Also take a close look at the bolt that hold the bell housing to the =
transmisison case. They go thru into the oil in the transmission and =
will leak. When rebuilding a transmission we always use copper washers =
with out the lock washers and thread sealer.

If you pull your gearbox, also check the seal on the gearbox input =
shaft. It goes to the same place engine oil does.

  There were no responses to the inquiry.  So can the cap that holds the =
cam in place be removed while the engine is in the car. Could the cap be =
sealed from the outside with todays technology of sealants? Also, =
according to the external engine diagrams in the moss catalog it does =
not show the back of the engine or the cap. =20

  Looking for answers to my continued oil leak problems.
