When I took the door off, I found a gaping hole where half of the door check should b...

So I'll close this thread out with the oil leak resolved. The exhaust hub had a lot of play and both front oil seals were bottomed out. So that was the leak. What I accomplished this weekend: - front and rear camshaft oil seals - exhaust hub replaced - intake hub reinstalled with new o-ring. Timing ...
