Pull engine, backplate off, sump off, replace oil seal. Should do it in a day if you start early.

No oil seal there! They don’t have them on A series inline engine.

I thought they had a string type seal behind the scroll?

[wildoliver]

It depends what year engine! I'm certain all of them have a seal in the main bearing cap though.

[Smithaam]

the mini had one but the Morris 1000 etc don’t.

[wildoliver]

Well in that case if an inordinately large amount is seeping past then your only option is to line bore the later rear cap to fit your engine.
