The engine has 5,000 miles on it. It is leaking along the case seam, mostly towards the front. I will look closer tomorrow, but it didn't look like oil was above the front of the seam.

I cleaned off the case and ran it for a few minutes...no leak. I shut it off and a few minutes later I saw a drip develop at the surface between the engine and trans. My guess is main seal. Sound like the right prognosis?
What causes this in 5,000? How can I prevent it from happening again?

If the oil is leaking out between the engine case and the transmission it is a good chance the main seal is the culprit. Failure at 5k miles seems odd. Could have been a defective seal or something like that.

As far as the oil leak....it doesnt seem to be running down the whole seam or is it.....looks to be right there at a pry point.
Any CASE history????

I caught the picture of the drip as it was happening. It continues to flow and spreads down the case. Here is a picture before I wiped it off:
Disregard the RTV on the bolt. That will be repaired this weekend as well.

No big leak! Small drip on the case, something I can live with..I think.

I put an alternator on a few months ago on a 1385cc with a Solex 30pict1 and while driving on fwy for 40+ miles, it slightly hesitates or sputters. I take my foot off of the gas and put it back on and it is fine for a while, then does the same thing. It never dies. My tank doesn't have a vent, and my metal filter is under the tank. I noticed my fuel line almost lays on top of my heater box, but doesn't touch (3" body lift). I'm curious where to start?
Thanks,
John
