I got the engine/transmission pulled this weekend. I can't see where the oil is coming from, but I suspect the two interference fit ball bearings that cap off the oil passages. Next time I have off I will clean it up real good, fill it with oil, and roll it over with the starter to bring up the oil pressure. If these passages leak I will replace them with two 1/2 inch pipe plugs.
