Oil drainback on these engines is pretty good....Just curious about something....
Is it leaking in the front head, toward the inside of the V moving outward, more toward the left hand side????? And it only does it when rpms is up?

Photo shows where it seems to be coming from. I'd say it's more of a seep when it's sitting still or idling.

Again.........if I clean it all up and go for a ride it seemingly won't leak anything for the first 5-7 miles, then it'll start. Definitely more at higher rpms which make sense. Difficult to see exactly where it's coming from especially when it's getting blown around. Put it this way, when it first started doing this I lost a quart of oil after about 175 miles and it was all on my lower right pant leg.

It runs down from that corner of the valve cover and gets on the exhaust flange, pre-heater hose for the carburetor, valve cover, spark plug boot and crankcase. it's all on the right hand side and forward cylinder.
