[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 140205, member: 597"] Areas' 1 and 2 are likely culprits....... I think on this one, it was leaking from where the starter itself bolts on from behind......The shaft on the starter at position 1 might have a seal, but it could leak from between the two at the joint ....... I used sealant on the cap screws to seal any possible leak from those..........At position 3 I found it best to make up a cork washer and bonded it to the back of the large washer shown in Craig's picture above........The ID of this washer needs to clear the spline shoulder on the main shaft, and ideally it needs to run as close to the large hole in the new primary cover as possible, allowing for any end float in the main shaft. You don't want it binding the shaft.......I used a good quality spray on adhesive (3m product) on both surfaces before assembling the 2 together........Even if the glue fails, it can't really go anywhere, and it definitely stopped the flow of primary oil leaking from this spot.
