[Healeys] Oil Drip

[Michael Salter]

Hi Kenny,
Almost certainly from the engine rear main seal. If it tends to drip a
little after a run then has stopped leaking a few hours later that will be
it.

I have had a oil leak problem for some time.  From looking under my car. It
looks as if the oil was leaking from tthe transmission and OD drain plugs.
I
changed my tranny oil on Fri and used thread sealer on the plugs.  I also
wiped down the tranny and engine oil pan.  This morining I noticed this a
small amount of oil leaking through the small hole at the bottom of the bell
housing.  Any idea what the cause may be?  Thanks.
