People on here are jumping to conclusions. I'm not mad or trying to trash anyone's work, I just wanted some more insight into the bridgeport. XLR8 actually posted some useful information, thanks for that. I now know that the seal in question will blow out like that over time.

I know the builder and the previous engine owner. It was ran for low miles. but it was in a racecar, so it was ran hard. The builder has offered to take apart the motor and reseat the seal. He didn't have to do that and I appreciate it.

The shop is fine, it wasn't a build problem and I have no problem with the builder. It apparently is the nature of the beast. Now I just need to decide whether to trim the excess seal or pull the motor for overhaul.
