Correct, there is no seal. Only a slinger that throws the oil off the rotating shaft. From there, it is sucked back down to the intake manifold through drillings in the crankcase. They only made a few millions of them that way, so can’t all be bad.

I suggest you check for excessive bearing looseness. If that is ok, clean it up and run it. Blow through the crankcase drillings, if it will make you feel better.
