You need at least some oil in the mix to keep lubricating the bearings, and definitely DO NOT drive the vehicle. The crank can spin freely with no load on the bearings with very little lubrication necessary.
It's not uncommon to get some leaks past oil seals and gaskets due to the high liquid level in the crankcase- - - -don't worry about it. Jerry
