OK. Big leak from the front of the engine. My theorized culprit was the oil pump. So I pulled the engine and fan housing. Not the oil pump. Rather, the source of the leak was via the threads of one of the top fan housing studs. Its threaded hole opens into the crankcase breather cavity. It's clear that this will leak unless the threads are sealed somehow. What kind of sealant should I use?
