I'll bet the seal in the front cover is bad (sealing around the harmonic
balancer shaft). You may have a nice groove worn in the balancer shaft too,
adding to the problem. I had the same thing, got a sleeve (from my FLAPS)
for the balancer shaft and a new seal, no more leaks. The hard part is
geting to the balancer, the rest is easy.
