Lubricating the dust & timing chain covers

[dazza]

ok, so I have about 200 miles on the complete rebuild and running great. I just noticed a few drops of oil on the dust cover as well as a few at the pan drain plug. Looking at the front of the dust cover it has been hit by a few flying drops but not many. Pulled the cover to find a bit of oil along the the top REAR ridge and and of course seeing where it has flowed down and out the hole. Looking up at the clutch there is splatter on the ceiling of the bell-housing as well as grease and (I think)oil at the throwout bearing and clutch fork.

you think from external seeping in or possible rear main seal??

Also noticed a few drips on the other end... on the bottom of my timing chain cover (last picture).
