I recently built a 393 stroker in my 02 camaro. The block that was used was out of a 98, however I used all of the sensors/covers off of my 02 block.

I keep getting an oil leak coming from the inside of the bellhousing. I've replace the main seal, cover gasket and even put sealer on the flywheel bolt because it looked as if oil was coming out of them when I pulled the flywheel off. It hasn't fixed my problem, the back of the engine is dry as a bone with no traces of any leaks with the exception of the hole where you can see the camshaft postion sensor. Could the o-ring on the CP sensor be bad? The car had about 96k on the clock when I built the 393 and swapped them.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks.

did you break the oil sending unit? its right next to the cam sensor.

No, its fine. There is definitely no leak from the top of the engine. I'm 100% positive it is coming from inside the bellhousing

There is an oil plug/seal in the crankshaft behind the pilot bearing. There's a good chance it's coming from there. Here's a thread on it:

Thanks for the link, I believe that might be my problem.
