One other thing to check is to make sure the breathers are working, and
temperature is not building up pressure inside of the crankcase and trying
to force oil out.
My 318 is leaking at the lift cylinders, and also the steering cylinder,
just because they are OLD. You might check these places also.
Be careful if you tear into an old engine. I was pulling heads on one of
these some time back, and because of corrosion on the head bolts where the
end of the bolt was exposed, 3 or more head bolts broke off in the aluminum
block. Did not have time to try to get bolt bolt ends out. Now I have got a
re power engine on it.
If someone is interested in the Oman engine I took off, let me know. Was
running when I pulled it, so hard parts are good.

Thanks
Dennis
