[Fot] [NET] Oil leak

[Phil Gott]

Ray;
The car has no seal at the reAr main. It uses an oil slinger to throw most of the oil into a catch device which routes it back to the pan. Some oil will get past that, but it should be no more than a few drips.
Joe Alexander (gasket innovations) markets a German made modern seal to fix that, but you need to pull the engine and lower the crank a couple of inches to install it. While you are doing that a new front seal, timing chain and tensioner and a set of main and rod bearings would be a good idea.
I am in Princeton, Mass if you want to get together.  I can show you how all this goes together.
