Not totaly. I spent ages faffing with bolt lengths and went through a few gaskets; the rear bearing is just fed with unfiltered oil direct from the pump and does come out the internal side and run down to appear in that hole. If I hadn't been priming the pump without the transfer case on I would never have know.

Just wanted it to be right having optimised the pump as per the article by AC Dodd in Nov 14 Mini World mag.
