Re: 54 Johnson RD15A top seal (still) leaks

[olcah]

After taking the carbon seal apart a couple of times I don’t think the oil is coming thru the seal as there is not much oil under the carbon near the crankshaft. The carbon ring is down on the bearing as it should be, no sign of anything holding it up. If the drain was blocked with old oil or whatever, then the drain would not work and the oil would come out through the vertical slot.
