: I just bought my first 8N and it has an oil leak where the front part of the engine block seals together with the adjoining part under the radiator. The fellow I bought it from said that it has a "rope seal" and that it was leaking from lack of running time. Was he pulling my leg, or should I run it more, watching the oil level of course, and expect that the leak may stop? Many older engines had rope seals which were indeed just rope that swelled when they met oil. It may well swell and seal but it is probably just shot.
