Well we had pulled the engine to fix the oil leak from the rear cover.. once repaired we thought we would add oil and tilt the engine back "just to see"

We also put the oil into the open valley area (cover was off for lift plate).. I guess doing it that way causes oil to come out the crank holes :shrug:

when oil started pouring out we were like "WTF!!".. lol.. at first we thought it was a bad seal then we saw it was coming out of the flywheel bolt holes.

Doh!

I still think it's odd that they did it that way, must of had a reason.
