Believe it or not, I had a leaking dipstick.  The skirt around the
dipstick was not tight and I was looking oil from it.
Good luck.

This is going to sound lame, but I am having a heck of a time finding an
oil
leak on my 120 Lehman/34Chb.  As you know, the bilge container slopes to
the
bow and that is where the oil collects in the box under the motor.  I
have
lined the box with paper towels, abosorbtion mats etc. and cannot find
the
drip line.  It seems to only leak when run for several hours, not one or
two.
I thought the front main seal may be the culprit, but have ruled that
out.
Also, I do not believe it is the valve cover or any of the cooling
lines. It
will drop a quart in 20 hours, so it is worth the concern.  Any tips you
have
to find the culprit would be appreciated.  How about an oil dye or
something
to make the source more identifiable?  Thanks  Tom
