Question Bad Oil leak ON my OPTI spark Help

My 1997 Camaro Z28 has a bad oil leak.
I know its coming from the front cover.
I just can't tell where on the cover but it's getting my OPTI spark wet.
I have the seal for the water pump drive.
And the water pump gaskets.
I also have the front crank seal.
Which from what I can tell is a standard crank seal for all small block's from way back.
Is there a seal behind the OPTI spark?
I want to get all the seals before I tear into it.

Thanks,

Chris.

Re: Bad Oil leak ON my OPTI spark Help

before you reinstall the opti. remove the rotor and put some rtv around base of the rotor. this will help keep any oil that will wick up though the hub. this is what killed my opti and gave me all of the troubles I was having.
