We had just basically did an engine overhaul on the 1.3L suzuki engine and got it started and running. The problem was the oil leak out of the front portion the engine, we change the camshaft seal and seal the oil pan good but still is leak out pretty good. Its main seal was also replace when the engine was overhaul. Could that had been damage along the way? where else would you think oil would come out alot, at the bottom front corner area?

If you have a considerable amount of oil coming out near the crankshaft seal you may want to consider a damaged seal. I've seen a few of these and have actually had the same issue on one I worked on. The casing seems to mar very easy. Make sure the sealing surface on the case is very clean. The seal splits easily so make sure you are using straight even pressure when installing.
