Years ago someone suggested cleaning up the oil and spraying athletes' foot spray on and watch where is displaces as the oil drips leaving a trail to the source. I would imagine that if the added rear seal dislodged, it would not produce more oil than if the
rear seal had never been added.<br>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">I know what you mean Michael, but I once had an oil filter leak that spewed out a substantial amount of oil, and a lot of it was left dripping from the engine-gearbox junction. As I initially
said, the filter leaks can be hard to trace .

If that's the case I don't see how a leak at the oil filter cannister could be the cause.</div>

<div class="" style="">I did some research awhile back about oil filter leaks and found that there are reports that over-tightening the canister can sometimes damage the sealing O ring to such an extent that it can cause a substantial oil leak.

<div dir="auto" class="">Spray break cleaner all over an d clean up the oil. Fill your block, starts the car, once any pressure shows on your gauge, turn it off. Check for leaks.
<div dir="auto" class="">I'll bet it's the filter. If canister type, the seal ring must have slipped, if spin on conversion, make sure you put a thin coat of oil on the seal and tighten</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 class="">
