My newest acquisition, a 78 model 244 with b21 engine and k-jet injection has a oil leak.
I originally thought the leak was from the front crank seal, but that is not it.
It appears that the oil is coming from behind the alternator mounting bracket.
I know that the lower alternator hole is tapped into the block, but I don't believe it goes into the engine oil channel. If my memory serves me, there is a threaded oil plug beside the alternator mounting bolt. This plug is directly into the engine oil channel, so it may be leaking there for some reason.
Any thoughts?
