The problem you are having is the #8 main bearing o-ring leaking. To repair this properly the cases have to be split. Now, heres the trick! Lower the rear of the engine with a floor jack. / Remove the engine mount and crank pully. / Clean the area around the main bearing with acitone. / You must use an oil resistant sealer for this part. ( NOT SILICONE! ) Apply sealer around the main bearing where it meets the case. / Replace the crank seal. / reassemble and allow the sealer to dry for 12-24 hours.

Good luck,
Lee
