Help with oil leak

[Nautica985]

Oil is leaking from the balance shaft sprocket. It does not leak at idle, but when I raise the rpm's oil comes pouring out. Is it just the seal or could there be something wrong inside the engine? If it was just the seal I would think that it would leak at idle.

anyone? I was looking at some pictures and there is a balance shaft spacer and bearing, could it be one of those? I dont wanna have to take the timming belt and every thing else off to replace the seal and put it back together and then find out its not the seal.

More than likely it is the seal. Only way to know for sure is to pull the front case off, though.

Sure sounds like a seal.
When you take it all apart do a complete T-Belt job while you are at it. It will save you a headache later on.
