Not likely, tortuga. FE's leak before they're assembled
I don't mind the leak in itself, it's the mess it makes on the chassis.
That's why I'm in the process of experimenting with diapers (New Pig strips with Gorilla tape at the bottom of the bellhousing and between the block and blockplate). Normally I wouldn't think of such a cockamamie scheme but I have so much access now that I have a Kwik Lift...
...I can see every pinhead sized drop, with my own pinhead eyes
