Hi all thanks for all those who gave advice on my last problem. Could anyone tell me if it's possible to get an oil leak from the bottom pulley oil thrower (not even sure if that's what's it's called ) if so what can can I do? Thanks
 
It depends on the circumstances.
things to check :-

Oil breather connected and working - tube not blocked?
Oil level too high from over filling?
Engine old and worn out - check compressions and crankshaft end float.

If it's on a newly built engine then check the oil flinger is fitted correctly.
