I love that line except when it applies to me. After I bought my 1275 Bugeye it was apparent that the car needed a lot of work to restore and I've focused on body work, suspension, etc. I knew the car was an oil leaker and assumed it was a poor rear seal with a little positive crankcase pressure to boot although the I was assured the engine was a fresh rebuild. I fooled around with the carbs and changed from the Weber to SUs and that improved the amount of oil coming out the rear, but never completely stopped it. I finally got around to working on the engine, separated it from the gearbox and noticed that there was no oil on the inside so that lead me to believe it was leaking around the rear of the sump. I actually looked at the rear of the engine plate today while removing the flywheel and noticed there was no oil pump cover! It was staring me in the face and I never noticed the missing pump cover! Next question...anyone have a pump cover they're not using?
