how did you take off the old pulley? hopfully it didn't get damaged taking off the pulley.
also what kind of case pressure do you have? could be you have to high a case pressure pushing the oil out. not sure if these are helpful but good luck  i had this problem with my old engine which is why i just built aqnother that i knew was solid. but it would be interesting to see what it might be.

i took the old pulley off with a pulley puller and it came off easily and smoothly. not sure what kind of case pressure i have but i did just install a new 26mm oil pump. the engine is not old, it has about 7 or 8000 miles on it and i had believed that it was leaking a bit from behind the pulley before this recent exchange of new parts, but after the new parts were installed the oil leak became very noticable. i think i am going to try to use a slip in sand seal and see how that does.
aight peaceeee

I had this same problem years ago on one of my first engine builds. I though that I installed the oil slinger the wrong way but I was very careful during the crank assembly to get it right. Before you go the sand seal, measure the pulley and compare it to a stock one. I found about a .012 to .024 difference between five different pulleys and a stock one. In the end I went to the slip in sand seal hope this helps.

I have seen a couple of folks forget the oil slinger when they build up the cranksaft and oil came out around the pully like mad. Make sure the slinger is installed.

there actually is an oil slinger installed. it doesnt look like it is doing very much though. there is a nice gap between it and the case on the bottom, but maybe there should be i dont know. to install a new one of these you would have to split the case right? i think i will just try a slip in sand seal and see if that helps.

That would be what I would try first. Make sure you get a matching pulley.
Do you have a breather box and vented valve covers?
