[Healeys] Oil leak

[Per Schoerner]

Hi
And sometimes, especially on older (100/6) cars the hole for the fuel pump is covered by a cast iron plate, secured by the two bolts. The more you tighten these bolts, to stop the oil leak, the more this plate will bend and create even more oil leakage.

There is a cast mounting pad below the generator that is intended for a mechanical fuel pump. Although the hole for the pump actuating arm doesn't exist the two mounting bolt holes do! They are tapped as well.  I put button head Allen screws into the holes with copper washers to seal them.

>>> So as I continue to locate the source of my major oil leak I noticed oil pouring out of the front right side of the engine down from the generator plate. See photo of where drill bit is pointing. I see a hole on the bottom flange. Is this a casting thing, or should something be plugging it?  Where could the oil be coming from. The cover plate shows a little leak, but I'm talking about oil pooling under the car from that approximate location . My nice new chrome valve  cover is leak free .
