Thumbs down dowel pin leak? (however u spell it)

i got an oil leak on the top front corner between front motor cover and first housing,it puddles up around the mazda stamp.was wondering if it is the dowel o-ring and if anyone has a quick fix thatll help stop or slow the leak,even temporary that doesnt involve a rebuild?

If you are refeering to the front plate and the rotor housing then yes that is a dowel pin leak.

There have been alot of members that have used Lucas oil stabilizer with great results at slowing down the leak.
Just ask onlyonthur.
