The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Rear Main Leak

I'm experiencing the same thing - I feel your frustration. I can see oil coming from the inspection plate next to the oil pan after about 10 min idle -- pulsing like a slow bleeding artery. I have a mechanic friend who will be helping but thoughts towards either a plugged or missing oil return tube, problems with the shims, or possibly a bad Babbit. He said if Babbit is ok he will drill an extra hole in the Babbit to assist with oil return to the pan.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.
