Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Oil leak

[Hal <strlcuckoo_46@xxxxxxxxx>]

I ran my '74 Gremlin 258 for about ten years with a leaky rear main with no problems as it never got that bad( a few drips per hour running, never more then about 8 ounces per oil change. Now spent about $2500 on a rebuid and no leaks.

Lost in Wichita Falls, TX

That is what I am guessing. A rear main seal. I guess it has done pretty good 30 years of being dry as a bone guess it is time for it to leak. While I don't like it leaking it is going to have to get a whole lot worse than it is now for me to fix it.

Terry,

 It's not leaking, it's just marking it's territory
Sounds like a rear main seal.

My 6 banger has developed an oil and I am not sure where it is coming from. No huge deal but it does bother me. I have looked and I can't figure out where it is coming from. Maybe the real seal. It only leaks when it is running. You can leave it sit for a while and it will stop. Like I said no big deal. I changed the oil about a month ago and put 250 miles on it and the dipstick is just about at the full mark. Just kind of embarrassing. Thought they might have a common problem
