Engine oil leak
OK replace flywheel with a new clutch assy: on 1974 2.0 914 install new fly wheel seal & that "O" as well with a new crush washer, lube up the seal & "O" ring to install use some tacky stuff around the out side of the seal only so it can stick to the engine housing .
Any way started it up and ran it for a haft hour on the stands , I let it sit over night and saw some oil coming down from the fly wheel area, did I not do this right did I miss some thing

You could have possibly cut the "lip" of the seal when installing. Very thin rubber and easily nicked/
I usually run a finger with oil on it around the seal lip before installation of the flywheel. Can't be of much help other than that.
