[Mgs] [Mg-t] TD Oil Seal

[Ron Olds]

Bill,

I have the same leak on my TD engine following rebuilding the engine. I used
the Moss rear seal.  The car is not on the road yet and I haven't done
anything about it yet but I probable will have to.  It is my understanding
that the weep hole is designed for oil to drip.  What I don't know is how much
is designed to drip.  Please keep me informed as to how you address the
problem, the solution and results.

Thanks,

Ronald Olds

Friend just brought over his '52 TD and showed me the oil leaking from the
weep hole in the bell housing.  Probably a drop every 10 seconds as it sat
there idling.

Couldn't think of anything good to say to him but it must be the rear main
seal.  It there anything else up there that could be leaking so badly?

I just looked in the Moss catalog at the seal replacement kit that they sell.
Does anyone here have any experience with it?  Are there any other good
alternatives out there?

Lastly, May I presume that this cannot be done with the engine in situ?  I
have never pulled a TD engine, any particular tricks?  Must I pull the
engine/tranny together?

Thanks to all,
Bill
