<VV> New Oil Leak

, there was a small stream of oil leaking. I
shut the engine off after 15-20 seconds and the volume/speed of oil leaking
out actually increased once the engine was off. Again, it drained out a
good amount and then stopped.
Any ideas where I should start looking for the cause of this leak?
Many thanks,
Smitty Says: Jedd if as you say the level was still at or above the ADD mark then I strongly suspect you have a failed diaphragm in the fuel pump. That is the only way I know of that a corvair can "make oil". Gas is pouring into the crankcase faster than it can run out of the leak.
