Lynn, 

Thanks for the confirmation.  I don't recall using any sealant on it during re-assembly (I may have, I just don't recall for certain).  If it is in fact leaking, I guess that means that I'll be pulling the gearbox, flywheel, counterweight and bearing carrier.  Or, is it possible to remove the six bolts and slide it out a 1/2" and, using a small brush, work some Permatex into the gap, then re-assemble?  This would be without removing the "BIG NUT".  

Mark S.
Now that is hopeful.
 
 I think not. I use a Chinese 1/2" impact gun, and that nut flies off. I put it back on with that gun as well. With one drop of red Locktite.
 
I keep it on until there is no more movement to the nut. 300 to 400 foot pounds is all you need.
