Drained the oild and added the last one no-extra-hole gasket from the green binder. Ran her again but was now getting a localized leak from the middle right.
Drained the oil again and on even closer inspection, found that there was some damage (probably a gouge from a broken chain?) that had caused an irregular surface on the crankcase.
Popped out the alternator and carefully filed the protrusion down until it seemed flush and level.
Refilled with fresh oil (650 mL) because the old stuff was already looking pretty dirty. Ran her again and no big leaks!
But... came down a couple days later to find a pool of oil in the pan. Looks like a slow leak coming from somewhere in the left cover even with a cold engine.
