   Don, for sure the picture you posted looks about where my rear gasket is. The front one is definitely not straight all the way around the bearing cap though.

	Well Chris, the dreaded answer to your question. Yes it is leaking oil from the front bearing gasket. Is there any chance that when I run the tractor and it gets up to temperature it’ll stop or is it just going to keep leaking. Besides that everything else seems to be holding oil. But I haven’t ran it yet.

	Dang I was afraid of that too. Looked like a better than 50% chance it would hold to me. Guess I was wrong. I doubt your going to see any improvement to a no leak condition after running. Regards, Chris

	Chris, I guess I better just take it back apart again and retry since the radiator is still out.

	I had some small leaks on mine too! I really think this is why Don and others suggest having the engine out and on a stand, upside down. Its just so much easier then fighting mean old MR gravity! Regards, Chris

	Chris, I agree. I loosened the front of the pan and dropped it down enough to get at the gasket. I didnt want to break the bond of the permatex on the edges because I was afraid of ripping the side gaskets. Anyway I pushed on the side that was sticking out and got it lined up with the other side except for the top where its tacked to the block. I know all this is a guessing game but do you think I should remove the pan and realign the gasket or would I need to get another gasket set? It looks like the side gaskets have already been compressed.

	I'm sorry it is still leaking after all the hard work you put into stopping the oil leaks, so you might be better off to just go ahead and pull the engine put her on a stand turn her pan side up and remove the new but now old pan gasket set and go ahead with replacement of the front crankshaft seal at the same time. You are not that far from pulling the engine (less that one hour from it) If you don't have a stand or engine host most parts stores will rent them.

	Aaron, I will defer to Don's recommendations on this oil leak issue. He hasn't steered me wrong. Regards, Chris
