My latest theory was to check on the oil lines and see if the one going to cyl.3 was crossed.
It seemed to be in the right place.

There is oil coming out of the lower block, but I can not determine where it is coming from. All of the lines from the manifold seem to be in the right place, and the lines going to the block look ok.
The oil is not coming from <u>any</u> oil lines though. After I ideled the motor for about 10 min, oil was piling up on both sides of the inner swivel bracket. I stuck a mirror in there and could see nothing. It leaked approx 2-3 oz of oil.
If I had to guess, it is coming from the lower block and finding a way to the midsection/swivel bracket area in the recessed cavity where the bracket attaches.



And, now cyl 5 plug is a bit oily. Although not as bad as 3.

I have done all the shade tree mechanic work I can do. I'm not about to dis-assemble the motor and find the leak, so to the shop it goes today.
