<html><body>My question is: DID YOU USE SYNTHITIC OIL, OR REAL OIL??? If you used the synthetic, drain it and put in Castrol 20/50 classic oil. Real oil is about 2 microns thick -synthetic is "smaller" and will leak like a sieve.

<div dir="ltr">
<div>I can't imagine that doing an oil change could be
the cause of a sudden increase in leakage from the rear main
however, I have had the same issue when the vent pipe to the rear
air filter was dislodged and bent over blocking all air flow.
<div>Might be worth checking that the crankcase venting
is working.</div>

changed oil in a club member's tri carb. went to get
gas and noticed lots of oil under car. by the time i got back
had lost about 4 qts or more of oil on a few mile drive.
coming from rear of engine and coming out bottom joint and cotter
pin hole. was only a small drip before oil change. assume it
is coming from rear main, but could it fail that fast?
any other places to look?<br>
