Hello friends
My Model A, has a very good and strong motor. But on driving it leaks oil out of the flywheel housing cotterpin hole. If I let run the car in idle for about one hour there is no oil leaking out, but if I am driving it leaks about 0.15 quart per mile.

The motor was completely rebuild about 2000 miles ago. Rear cam is sealed. The crankshaft is modified for a modern seal. No pressure in the oil pan.

I would be thankful for all hints you can provide me.

best regards from Switzerland
Eric
