OK the car can sit and be driven and all that and only leak a little bit of oil (about a 2inch round puddle) But if i jack the car up and let it back down after doing whatever i had to do it will dump a 6-7 inch round puddle under the car ??? from what i can see its coming from inbetween the motor and trans ( i dont have the plate covering the front of the tranny if that matters)
there is also oil sitting on my oil cooler adapter coming from the pan not sure if thats leaking or if its getting leaked on from something else. car has 5.5 to 6qts in it motor is super fresh (less than 30 miles)


thanks for any advise

Could be that or just a leak at the rear pan rail...

Nope our motors don't have pressurised Main seals and if the PCV system is functioning correctly you should have a mild vaccum in the crankcase.

He's running the exact same catch baffled custom catch can I am, on the same setup with 1/2" ports... I built the can for him. I have had 0 problems poping seals without running vac to the can :(

Thats a possiblity. I'm on the phone with him right now.

He's going to try a vac source to the top port on the can.... may help.

maybee the rear main will float back into place then???


Anyway looks like tommarow i will pull the tranny out (my least favorite task i might add) and do a new rear main seal and also fix that oil cooler feed line leak new crush washers i hope will do the trick then add a vacum port to replace the breather on the CC dump that into the acordian and see what it does . Think i can do that in one day???
