Re: Multiple Oil Leaks after sitting?
Hi Daryl,
on my revised engine, the crankshaft rear seal started to leak badly after 2000 miles. About 8 ounces for 100 miles.
I took thick SAE 50 oil, tried STP thickener - there was little improvement.
Since I don't feel like taking the heavy engine out again, I have clamped an enlarged drip pan between the clutch bell and the engine.
In addition, another smaller collecting cup is fixed under the bearing ball of the front axle triangular linkage with a neodymium magnet.
Annoying the two pans, but without leaving a telltale oil trail.
