Thanks for the comments gents, I'm sure I used a little engine oil on the crank on reassembly, it's normally rule of thumb to smear these type of parts on assembly.
I've got a suspicion that maybe it's the oil jet spray on the timing gear as it was overlooked when I injected fluids with my airline into the galleries before reassembly.........just to recap the engine runs very sweet and having run it for 20 mins @ 2000 revs with no issues including normal temperature range then I feel nothing serious is iminent accept oilseal failure from timing cover.
I think removal of front pulley may give an indication of oil presence in the frontal area would you gents agree?
