Bad oil leak... DE in 2 weeks, Please HELP!! Options

[yarin]

I bought this car a month and a half ago, as a race car with 2 engines, 2 trannies, 2 exhausts, etc etc. I swapped in the "good race" motor being told it was just rebuilt, case split, heads done, dynoed, ready to go. So I finally get everything hooked up, start it up, timing is perfect, but it drips oil. The pushrod seals look ok, its not the drain plug, bottom sump area, the other plate.

The leak is coming from higher up. The cooling fins on the cylinders are wet. Most of the drip is from the drivers side of the engine. There is drip on the shift bar, random spots on the oil pan, and a few other places.

I have a drivers ed event at limerock with Jersey PCA and haven't gotten the car inspected yet. I have till tuesday to cancel. I don't have time to drop the engine again and tear it apart. Do I cancel? You can see how bad the leak is in the last picture, moving slowly backing out of the garage, then back and forth a few times.

Please advise. Thanks

1. from the dip stick - there is a tube pressed into the case that can become dislodged. 2. from where the thermostat pulley is (or should be) 3. oil filler housing 4. oil pressure switch. dont get the hecho in mexico pos - get it from porsche and then put epoxy where the plastic meets the metal body. if not these things I think your motor is coming down. good luck btw - I always used to have a leak from the front. thought it was the front main seal, but no. there should be a oring behind the fan hub (not included w/ engine gasket sets)

You have a what is likely a single leak that is blowing oil all over, so think about places where oil could be made airborne by the cooling fan.
