hi , i have just bought a g40 conversion thats just the engine rebuilt with all new gaskets and there is an oil leak can anyone suggest what it could be?

GR40

oil leak from where? g40 engines have a thousand places where they can leak! even a misfitted new gasket could cause a leak! or a gone o-ring? is it at the front or the back of the engine?

the drivers side at the front of the engine, there is a small amount of oil leaking and i dont know how to sort it.

Crank seal? I got a leak and its coming from there.

Sounds like the oil gallery seal in the head gasket, only real fix is a new head gasket. But your description is too vague, any pictures of it?
