The 15/16 bolt in the end of the crank is a blind hole. Oil CANNOT leak out 
unless someone drilled the crank wrong for some arcane oiling modification 
and intersected the bolt hole, or your crank is cracked. Or, there may have 
been some fluid in the hole from solvent cleaning, but with a normal 
crankshaft, nothing should come out of that bolthole. If a quantity of oil 
came out, I would remove the crank and magneflux it or do some other 
crack-testing. Good luck- J DeRyke
